Not Built for You

Artificial Intelligence, Concentrated Power, and the Fight for What Money Cannot Buy

American institutions stopped seeing the people inside them. The legal frameworks, the corporate forms, and the metrics were built to count money with precision and to be blind to almost everything else. The structures were built to produce this outcome, and they are producing it. AI inherited the blindness, and is using it to transfer power from the people the systems act on to the corporations that own them.

This book presents a reckoning with the constitutional, corporate, and cultural choices that left regular people unprotected and without a unified voice.

The book asks and answers what we owe each other.

Why the doodlebug?

The cover of the book is doing what its asks of its reader: Notice the small life in front of you. The capacity to see it is the foundation of every larger thing a person — or a society — can choose to build.
