Book 5 · In development
When capability has a body
When AI capability takes physical form in a robot, usefulness is only part of the story. Backstory, memory, and shared history create a narrative patina: meaning accumulated over time. Provenance, or knowing that history, matters to trust, companionship, and care as we age. The robot is the vessel; the capability is still what we access and use.
Book 6 · In development
Acquiring expertise in the age of AI
For young people finishing high school and choosing what comes next: how do you acquire meaningful expertise when your path will differ from your parents’? Connected to the work of Quan Pathways, this book explores how to prepare for the world of capability developed in Books 1–5.
