  Human Dot AI - How the Fight for...

  Your attention, please! 
   
  The fight for your attention is the biggest business in the world. It is also the most important. And it’s all about to change. 
   
  The attention economy moves markets. It shapes what we buy, who we date, and what we believe. The world’s biggest companies are locked in a trillion-dollar AI arms race to control it. And in the process they’ve built a system that undervalues the very thing that matters most: your attention and everything it makes possible. 
   
  Human Dot AI tells the inside story of how we got here and what’s next. It’s about how the companies that now dominate our economy rose to power on machines built for one purpose: to capture your attention, package it, and sell it back to advertisers—and how AI is rewriting the rules. 
   
  Through the eyes of entrepreneur and media executive Joe Marchese, Human Dot AI takes you from the early days of social media to the height of the TV industry, from the high-stakes world of Super Bowl advertising to the rise of advertising machines designed to measure and monetize your every move, and finally to the reckoning of media companies that once controlled our attention as they’re swallowed by the economic forces AI has unleashed. 
   
  Whatever industry you work in, Human Dot AI will change how you see this moment. It shows why the battle for your attention is the defining business story of our time and uncovers the opportunities hidden within culture and everyday life in an economy that undervalues what matters. 
   
  The question is no longer whether AI will transform the economy. The question is whether AI, put to work in support of humans instead of advertising revenue, will fix the broken attention economy . . . or complete the collapse.

  Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

  When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
  Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
  Sample passages: 
  From Chapter 1 
  "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
  From Chapter 16 
  "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
  In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."
