Borrowed Mind: Thinking Clearly When Tools Want to Think for You
Borrowed Mind is a field book for thinking clearly when tools want to think for you.
Prompts, copilots, and dashboards make work faster. They also make borrowed fluency feel like judgment. This book is for operators, founders, managers, and ambitious ICs who already use AI and feel the speed/quality tradeoff — and want decision rights, attention protocols, and verification habits that survive Tuesday.
Inside you will
• Distinctions between leverage and outsourced thinking
• How prompts inject beliefs and dashboards write behavior
• Decision rights before tools, attention under automation, and verification without paranoia
• How teams use tools without lying — and what human judgment still earns rent
Standalone. Soft also-by to Reality.exe and Author Mode. Not a numbered trilogy. Not a prompt cookbook.
