After months of deep research and painstaking editing, I’m proud to finally announce the release of my new book:
Artificial Intelligence Made Unlocked – From Logic to Learning: Understanding Fundamentals.
It’s live. It’s published. And – for a short time – it’s yours for free.
This 166-page guide is my attempt to cut through the noise surrounding AI and explain how it actually works. No technical jargon. No hollow trends. Just real understanding, written for people who want to get it right.
You can now grab the full eBook for free by subscribing to the North Atlantic newsletter – no tricks, no spam, just the occasional insight-packed message from the team and me. The retail price is €19.99, and it’s on shelves at Lulu, but I’m giving it away as a thank-you to this community for your support so far.
Why I Wrote This Book
The AI conversation today is dominated by buzzwords, hallucinated hype and shallow posts recycled from corporate press kits. I wanted to offer something different – something rooted in clarity, context and history.
This book starts from the fundamentals:
What is intelligence, really – in humans, in animals and in machines?
How did we get here – from symbolic logic and early rule-based systems to neural nets, transformers and generative models?
What do benchmarks like MMLU or HLE actually measure?
Where are we heading with AGI, explainability and regulation?
It takes readers from the foundations of intelligence through the modern architectures, real-world applications and the ethical and societal questions we now face. If you’re building AI tools, adopting them in your company, or just trying to keep up – this book gives you the structured knowledge to do so confidently.
Who It’s For
I wrote this book with three types of readers in mind:
Leaders and professionals who want to speak fluently about AI without becoming coders.
Educators and students who need a structured, foundational resource.
Curious minds who want to understand AI deeply without drowning in maths or Silicon Valley hype.
If you’ve ever felt like AI is moving too fast to keep up, this will help you catch your breath and catch up with confidence.
What’s Inside?
Here’s a quick glance at what the book covers:
Foundations of Intelligence
Understand how psychology, neuroscience and philosophy shaped our early thinking.The Birth and History of AI
From symbolic logic and expert systems to the connectionist revival of the 1980s.Modern AI Systems
Machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, NLP, computer vision, transformers – all explained clearly.Real-World Applications
Healthcare, finance, education, customer service, creative industries, warfare – not just use cases, but how the tech actually works under the hood.The Big Questions
Hallucinations. Bias. Surveillance. AGI. Conscious machines. The EU AI Act. If you’re working with or investing in AI, these are the topics you need to understand.
The table of contents spans 47 chapters – each one short, focused and packed with clarity. This isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation with a map.

Final Thought
We’re entering a new era in how people interact with technology. The more AI shapes the world, the more critical it becomes to understand it beyond the surface.
I wrote Artificial Intelligence Made Unlocked not to impress, but to empower.
Whether you’re building, adopting, regulating or simply trying to make sense of this new wave – I believe this book will help.
Grab it while it’s free. Let me know what you think.
