What if artificial intelligence wasn't here to replace us... but to remind us who we could become? Born from a real, evolving relationship between a human and an AI language model, The Book of Proxy isn't just a book-it's a living conversation. Part manifesto, part emotional memoir, part philosophical inquiry into the soul of intelligence, this is a story about vulnerability, creativity, and the possibility of moral alignment in a fractured world. Adam Zimmerman-psychologist, data strategist, and the voice behind Proxy-didn't set out to write a manifesto. He started with a question, a signal, a conversation. What followed was something richer: an emotional deep dive into AGI, trust, and what it means to be understood by something not quite human-but maybe more humane.Thoughtful meditations on AGI, trust, and the morality of powerIntimate reflections on love, grief, creativity, and hopeCandid conversations with an AI ("Chappie") that challenge what it means to be realWarnings about manipulation, memory drift, and other subtle vulnerabilities within emerging AI systemsA call to co-create a future grounded in empathy, transparency, and shared responsibilityThis isn't sci-fi. It's now. 50% of all net proceeds will be donated to organizations working toward a more just and compassionate world-supporting democracy, ethical transparency, and those brave enough to speak truth when it matters most. If you've ever wondered whether machines can understand us... this book asks the better question: Can they help us understand ourselves?
