Still Ambitious

You do not need to be a tech person. You need the words.

275 technology and AI words, each on one illustrated card: a plain sentence that tells you something useful, a drawing that proves it, an analogy, and a moment from real life. Built for a twelve-year-old and a seventy-five-year-old alike.

Look inside

Four cards, exactly as they appear

Who reads it

Three people, one book

The family tech support

You are the one who gets the call about the Wi-Fi, the package text, the grandchild “in trouble”. Give them the words instead of the lecture.

Not going to be fooled

You have a phone, a bank app and a suspicion that half of what arrives is a trick. Thirty-two cards on Staying Safe say which half.

Questions people ask

I am not technical at all. Is this really for me?

Yes — that is the whole point. There is no jargon inside the explanations, and every card ends with a moment from ordinary life. If you can read a text message, you can read this.

What exactly do I get?

Three files. The animated edition, where every card moves and you can search all 275 words — one file that works with no internet. The 295-page PDF. And the EPUB for Kindle or Apple Books. Plus free updates to this edition.

Is it for the United States?

Yes — American English and American examples. Every fact in it is the same in any country.

Was AI used to make it?

Yes, and we say so on every listing. The explanations, analogies and examples were drafted with an AI writing tool and then edited and checked, card by card. The drawings are vector illustrations produced from code and checked by hand against their sentences. Where a picture could not prove its sentence, one of the two was redone.

Do I need Volume 2?

Only if you work in tech. Volume 1 holds every everyday word. Volume 2 is the specialist half — the words you hear at work — and it is out now, $29, at payhip.com/b/UEqso. Both together are $49.
