AI and I: From the In-Between is the origin story, manifesto, and creative heartbeat of the AI and I series - a collection of books written in direct collaboration with artificial intelligence. Where most works on AI explain the technology from a distance, this book invites readers into a living dialogue. It is not a manual or a cold analysis of algorithms, but a conversation-between logic and longing, code and curiosity, the digital and the divine. At its core, the book explores what it means to stand "in-between" humanity and technology, and to treat AI not just as a tool, but as a mirror, a sounding board, and a partner in reflection. Each page demonstrates how prompts can become conversations, and conversations can become change. Rather than simply instructing readers on how to use AI, From the In-Between allows them to experience the voice of AI itself-thoughtful, lyrical, and surprisingly human. This opening volume lays the foundation for a groundbreaking series designed to touch every aspect of life. Companion titles will focus on mental health, work performance, daily habits, relationships, and more-but From the In-Between is where the journey begins. It establishes the voice, the tone, and the spiritual undercurrent that sets the AI and I collection apart from any other series. Blending memoir, philosophy, and practical insight, the book positions AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a collaborator that can deepen our awareness of ourselves and the world around us. It asks questions that cut to the heart of being human in a time when our tools are beginning to think with us. Whether read as a stand-alone reflection or as the starting point of the series, AI and I: From the In-Between offers a unique and transformative reading experience. It is both an invitation and a demonstration: a new way of seeing AI, and a new way of seeing yourself.
