Books
Books
My books explore the spaces where imagination, technology, law, governance and human judgement collide. Some are written for professionals trying to understand the future of AI, trust, automation and institutional intelligence. Others are creative worlds built around courage, curiosity, power, risk and hope. Across both fiction and non-fiction, the common thread is the same: how people think, how systems shape decisions, and how ideas can change the way we see the world. Through books such as Institutional Intelligence, The AI Trust Score, The AI Visual Prompt Handbook, Drawing Hope and The Koala Protocol, I write about the future from different angles — sometimes as a strategist, sometimes as a storyteller, and sometimes as someone simply trying to make sense of where technology is taking us. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: ideas matter. The way we capture them, question them, protect them and share them may shape the next generation of human and machine intelligence.
