The Ship We Build
A field guide for three brothers in the AI transitionBy Johann FloresRecorded TrackLength1h 2m
About this audiobook
In the summer of 2026, my older brother sent my other brother and me a letter. It counted every time the three of us should have died and didn't, read the AI forecasts, and concluded we were saved for a purpose, with maybe two years to get rich before the door closed on families like ours. This audiobook is my reply. The Ship We Build answers his letter with research instead of comfort: what the AI 2027 and AI 2040 forecasters predict, what the fear merchants added on top, what holds its value in every future, and what three brothers with different skills should build when nobody knows the timeline. It says yes to him, and it raises. Not a desperate sprint, but a doctrine: own things, finish things, forecast quarterly, protect the family above the venture. He told us to get on the ship before it leaves. There is no ship. We are the shipyard. Fourteen chapters, about an hour, written for two brothers and published for anyone who got the same letter in their own house.
