From Fire to AI
From Fire to AI is not just a book about technology.
It is a book about us.
It is the story of how a fragile species, once huddled around fire in fear and wonder, learned to shape stone, language, cities, science-and now intelligence itself. It traces the long arc of human becoming, from survival to self-awareness, from instinct to responsibility.
Fire was our first revolution.
Artificial intelligence is our most intimate one.
Between these two moments lies the entire human journey: the rise of knowledge, the fall of empires, the birth of ideas, the struggle for dignity, and the quiet realization that every tool we create eventually reshapes the one who created it.
Written with philosophical depth and emotional clarity, From Fire to AI connects ancient wisdom with modern science, showing how each leap in power forced humanity to ask deeper questions:
What does progress mean?
Who decides how power is used?
And can wisdom evolve as fast as intelligence?
This book does not glorify technology, nor does it fear it. Instead, it treats technology as a mirror-reflecting human values, biases, creativity, and conscience. Artificial intelligence is presented not as an endpoint, but as a test: a moment where humanity must choose whether it will advance blindly or evolve consciously.
Blending history, philosophy, science, and foresight, From Fire to AI speaks to readers who feel that the present moment is different-that the future is no longer distant, and that our choices now echo further than ever before.
This is a book for thinkers, for seekers, for readers who want to slow down in a fast world and see the bigger picture.
Above all, it is a reminder of one essential truth:
Progress is not defined by what we can build,
but by what we choose to protect.
As humanity stands between its origins and its outcomes, From Fire to AI offers perspective, humility, and hope-inviting us to guide intelligence with compassion, power with wisdom, and the future with conscience.
This is not the end of the story.
It is the moment the story becomes deliberate.
