Transcend is a thoughtful, sometimes poetic, always grounded take on AI that’s more about people than code. It’s not a book full of hacks or hot takes. It’s more like a long conversation with someone who knows a lot, cares a lot, and wants to help the rest of us figure it out, too. I’d recommend this book to anyone feeling overwhelmed by the AI wave, especially leaders, educators, or just regular folks trying to make sense of it all.
