Books
Written, and returned to.
A few books of my own, and a small shelf of others I keep close. Each one, in its way, has helped me think about the same question from a different angle.

The Age of Intelligent Economies
Shaping the Future of Human–AI Collaboration and Autonomy
Available
A long look at what happens when intelligence itself becomes infrastructure, how value, work and agency shift when systems begin to act on their own, and what leaders owe the humans still inside the frame.

Business Impact of AI
Advanced Business Models and Their Influence on Future Jobs
Out of print
Written as artificial intelligence was quietly moving from novelty to nervous system. A book about the shape of the workplaces we were, without quite noticing, beginning to build.

Global Harmony Disruption
Unlocking Global Opportunities in Mobile Music Distribution
Out of print
An earlier life, spent thinking about how music, mobile networks and emerging markets were rearranging one another. The questions were different. The underlying one, how technology reshapes what people share, was already the same.
Companions
Not a reading list. A set of books I return to.
01
Mindfulness for All: The Wisdom to Transform the World
Jon Kabat-Zinn
A call to take the practice of attention beyond the cushion and into the shape of society. In an age of acceleration, it is a reminder that the most radical act is sometimes simply to be here, together.
02
Siddhartha
Hermann Hesse
A story about seeking and finally listening. It asks whether wisdom can be taught or must be lived, a question that feels newly urgent when knowledge is everywhere and understanding is scarce.
03
East of Eden
John Steinbeck
A book about the possibility, at every moment, of choosing. Timshel. It taught me that human agency is the deepest subject of literature.
04
Vita Activa
Hannah Arendt
Labor, work, action. Arendt gives us the vocabulary to see what a purely automated life would quietly take from us.
05
The Master and His Emissary
Iain McGilchrist
A patient argument that how we attend to the world is how we make the world. Nothing has shaped my thinking about technology more.
06
Man's Search for Meaning
Viktor E. Frankl
The last of human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any set of circumstances. A reminder of what no machine will ever hold for us.
07
Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
A private notebook, still speaking to us across two thousand years. Proof that self-examination is the oldest form of technology.
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
Franz Kafka
