Prompted: Consciousness, AI, and the Future of the Thinking Mind: The Flexible Mind Series

What if your thoughts weren't your own?
What if your mind was programmable—and already being programmed?
This isn't another book about artificial intelligence. It's a journey through it—and 
beyond
 it.
In this provocative, insightful, and deeply human exploration, you'll travel from the heart of cutting-edge AI labs to the stillness of your own mind. Along the way, you'll uncover what intelligence really means, why consciousness may not belong to humans alone, and how our relationship with machines is reshaping not just society—but 
ourselves
.
Whether you're a tech skeptic, an AI enthusiast, a philosopher, or someone simply wondering where the world is headed, this book offers more than answers. It offers a mirror.
What you'll discover inside:


? A refreshingly clear explanation of how intelligence, learning, memory, and consciousness emerge—both in humans and machines


? The hidden psychological impact of interacting with AI models like ChatGPT, and how prompts are reshaping the way we think


? Powerful insights into the nature of identity, control, and the observer within your mind


? Real-world stories from AI labs, medical breakthroughs, and economic shifts showing how LLMs are already transforming life


?️ A new perspective on how to use AI 
intentionally
—as a tool for self-reflection, creativity, and transformation


?‍♂️ Philosophical and spiritual reflections on what remains when thought, ego, and identity dissolve


This book doesn't ask whether machines can think.
It asks: 
Can we?
"We don't just prompt the machine. We prompt ourselves."
