As an indie author, I see AI as a tool, not an author. When used transparently for editorial support—such as spelling, linguistic consistency, or speeding up revisions—it can level the playing field for writers who don’t have access to large editing budgets. What matters most to me is who controls the ideas, arguments, and final decisions. As long as that responsibility clearly remains with the human author, I don’t see a problem—especially when its use is openly stated.

One myth I was glad to challenge is the idea that becoming better, more skilled, or more adaptable is always enough to stay relevant.
While writing NULL FUTURE, I kept running into the same pattern: people weren’t failing because they stopped improving, but because the systems around them stopped noticing them. We’re taught that visibility follows merit, yet modern systems often optimize for speed and scale, not presence or contribution. Letting go of that myth changed the book from advice into a warning—and, hopefully, a guide.

Because I saw too many people relying on career advice from 2010. I wanted to write a manual for the economy of 2030.
