Granddad and the Human Algorithm
Learning to Live (and Laugh) with Artificial Intelligence

This is a story about the gadgets we trust too much, the people who keep us grounded, and the laughter that gets us through both.
Grandad lives with his daughter Mary and her two children — Grandson and Granddaughter — in a house that seems to get smarter by the week. The lights talk, the fridge gives advice, and the car occasionally thinks it’s a life coach. Mary multitasks like a command centre on legs, the kids act as the “Quality Control Department,” and Grandad just tries to survive the updates.
It’s not a manual for mastering Artificial Intelligence. It’s about making peace with it — and remembering that real intelligence still has a heartbeat and a sense of humour.
Inside are stories about friendship, family, and finding your place in a world that’s forever upgrading. There are laughs, lessons, and a few lighthearted illustrations — drawn by an AI that’s still learning which way elbows bend. You'll spot the mistakes!
So settle in. There’s no manual, no password, and no pop-up asking if you’ve accepted the cookies.
Just a story about family, connection, and staying human — one upload at a time.
