Across 20 chapters, you will travel through:

  • What intelligence means
  • Why humans became a thinking species

  • The future of humanity and intelligent machines

You do not need a technical background. You only need curiosity.

Why This Book Was Written

AI is no longer science fiction. It is everywhere, often invisible. There is excitement. There is confusion. People are searching for clarity, not hype.

This book is written to make AI understandable and human. It is a narrative journey, not a textbook: easy to read, suitable for teenagers, parents, teachers, and professionals.
