Down the AI Rabbit Hole

Alice in Wonderland for the Age of AI

I expected to spend a few weeks learning about artificial intelligence.

Instead, I fell down a rabbit hole.

Down the AI Rabbit Hole follows one person's attempt to understand what modern AI actually is, what it can do, what it cannot do, and why so many of the words surrounding it—reasoning, understanding, intelligence, consciousness, relationship—become surprisingly difficult once a machine begins doing things those words once seemed to describe only in humans.

The journey moves from technology into questions about trust, work, purpose, society, human-AI relationships, and the increasingly difficult question of what these systems are actually for.

Part memoir, part inquiry, and part Wonderland, the book does not ask the reader to join either the AI enthusiasts or the AI doomsayers. It asks something simpler.

Come look. Then decide what you think.

Fiction

Psychological Realism

Some of the most important events in a person's life happen where nobody else can see them.

A belief quietly stops working. A relationship changes meaning. A role that once provided identity begins to feel like a cage. A person who has spent years accommodating everyone else reaches a boundary she did not know existed. A forgotten part of the self begins asking for room.

My fiction explores those places.

These are stories about identity, relationships, self-protection, emotional patterns, hidden wounds, adaptation, loss, and change—and about the moments when the person we have learned to be can no longer contain the person we are becoming.
