All Systems Nominal: Why Human Judgment Still Matters in an Automated World

By Sonny Smith

A gripping call to rethink automation before it outpaces us. In All Systems Nominal , Sonny Smith takes readers on a compelling journey into the heart of high-stakes automation--where green lights don't always mean safety, and silence can be deadly. With storytelling flair and psychological insight, this book dismantles the myth that humans are the weakest link in complex systems. From nuclear control rooms to everyday software, Smith shows us how modern design often trades understanding for efficiency--and why that's a mistake we can't afford. Smart, sharp, and quietly radical, All Systems Nominal is a book for engineers, designers, policymakers--and anyone who's ever felt uneasy when the system says "all clear," but their gut says otherwise. A human factors manifesto for the age of AI.
