AI for the Rest of Us
Five plain-English guides to understanding AI — for anyone who ever felt left behind by technology.
You already use AI every day. It sorts your email. It recognizes your face. It noticed that suspicious charge on your credit card before you did.
But if anyone ever asked you to explain what AI actually is — or how to use it, or whether to trust it — you might have struggled to answer.
That's exactly what these books are for.
AI for the Rest of Us is a five-book series written for people who want straight answers, not jargon. No scare stories. No pressure to become a tech expert. Just calm, clear, honest explanations — and practical guidance you can actually use.

About the Authors
About David Harrison
David Harrison is a senior citizen who knows a little about AI and a lot about finding things confusing. He wrote this series for everyone who feels the way he once did — that AI was something happening to the world rather than something they were already part of.
About Claude
Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic, and helped David research, write, and refine every page of every book in this series — which, Claude points out, rather proves the point.
