For Nervous Humans, Not Tech Bros

If you've ever thought "I'm too old for this" or "I'm already too far behind" — this is your book.

What You'll Be Able to Do After Reading

Ask AI Questions Confidently

Without feeling stupid — and actually understand the answers you get back.

Use AI for Real Tasks

Draft emails, summarize chaos, brainstorm ideas, and plan projects with ChatGPT and Claude.

Spot the BS

Identify AI hype and scams so you don't get overwhelmed or ripped off.

Build Your Own AI Routine

A simple system that fits your actual work and life — not some productivity guru fantasy.

This is not a coding book. Not a hype manifesto. Not a 600-page textbook. Just clear explanations from someone who remembers what it felt like to not understand any of this.

What's Inside

Part 1: Why Everyone's Screaming About AI
What AI actually is, minus the PhD. Why it feels scary — and why you're not crazy for feeling that way.
Part 2: Meet Your Robot Assistants
How ChatGPT, Claude, and friends actually work. What they're great at, terrible at, and when to walk away.
Part 3: Using AI in Real Life
For work: emails, reports, brainstorming, explaining complex crap simply.
For life: travel, shopping, recipes, learning new things.
Part 4: Boundaries, Ethics, and Not Losing Your Soul
Privacy basics, deepfakes, and how to use AI without becoming that person.

Questions You Might Have

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can send an email and use Google, you have all the technical skills you need. This book assumes nothing.

Is this just ChatGPT fluff?

Nope. We cover ChatGPT, Claude, and the broader AI landscape — what works, what doesn't, and how to actually use these tools in real life.

Will this still be relevant in 2026?

The specific tools will evolve, but the fundamentals — how to think about AI, how to use it safely, how to not freak out — are timeless. We focus on principles, not just features.

What if I've already used ChatGPT a bit?

Great! You'll fill in the gaps, learn what you've been doing wrong, and discover techniques you didn't know existed. Most readers say "why didn't anyone explain it this way before?"

Is this for developers?

No. If you code for a living, this book is too basic for you. It's specifically for non-technical humans who want to use AI without becoming programmers.

About the Author

David Frank

David Frank

David didn't set out to write tech books. He set out to avoid technology entirely. But after 25+ years explaining confusing software to panicking humans, he figured he might as well write it down.

He believes the best tech teachers aren't geniuses — they're people who were terrified yesterday and still remember what helped.

David is camera-shy, mildly anxious, and ambivalent about robots. But he's learning.

Image generated by AI. The anxiety is real.
