About the author
Richard B. Alman
18 books1 followerWelcome to my Bio.
My life is a Fiesta & I feel like a Piñata! I am intrigued by many things and I have a very diverse set of interests and involvements.
My first published book, available now, is "Written in Stone" a historical modern day thriller. Can the enemies of the USA bankrupt the country? Or will a secret mechanism created by the country's founding fathers in 1776 save the USA from the brink of financial disaster?
My second book, available now, is "Breaking Windows". Obsessed with crushing Microsoft, the U.S. Attorney General illegally funds a tech rival, only to realize he is the architect of his enemy's greatest victory.
My third book, also available now, is "Machine World". What if your toaster was plotting to save your home? At 2020 Mechanical Way, the appliances aren't just tools--they're a secret society with a mission.
My fourth book, also available now, is "North American Unity Plan" or "NAUP". A strategic initiative designed to foster seamless economic, social, and industrial integration between the US, Canada, and Mexico. Unlike traditional trade agreements, NAUP envisions a long-term, structural collaboration.
Fifth book now available, "AI vs. HI, Why AI Won’t Replace Human Intelligence". Your Human Intelligence is extremely valuable. Your employer, or your employees, may Survive with AI. However, they can Thrive with HI, your HI. AI is real. Its capabilities are real. And the speed at which it's moving is real. But somewhere between the labs and the headlines, a critical distinction got lost.
Sixth book now available, "The Innovator’s Synthesis: Disruptive Strategy and the Human Moat in the Age of AI: The battle-tested principles of Clayton Christensen’s Disruptive Strategy in the AI era". From Answering Machines to Questioning Engines, You will learn why 'smart' is no longer a proprietary advantage and how to pivot your career or business toward 'sensemaking' and problem-finding. This book is different because it applies the battle-tested principles of Clayton Christensen’s Disruptive Strategy to the AI era, showing you exactly where the new profit pools are migrating.
