The book

You're not starting from zero. You're starting from experience.

The Robot in the Room is a practical, often funny and refreshingly grounded guide for professionals over 40 who want to make sense of AI without losing sight of what they bring to the table.

Learn what to protect, where to adapt, how to use AI as a tool rather than a threat, and how to take charge of the next stage of your career.
