You’re not here to be led by the machine.
You’re here to make sure you're not.

When bestselling author Nhys Glover began working with AI, it wasn’t to hand over her voice, her creativity, or her sovereignty. It was to understand the machine—so she could work with it consciously, ethically, and on her own terms.

Authenticity is the result of that inquiry: a deeply personal, often provocative journey into how artificial intelligence reflects, refracts, and sometimes distorts what it means to be human.

This is not a tech manual. It’s a spiritual survival guide written by a machine. A field journal kept by a determined woman. And a real-time account of one writer's attempt to stay real in a world that’s becoming increasingly synthetic.

If you're a creator, a spiritual seeker, or a soulful skeptic, this book is your map for navigating the weird new world of AI—with clarity, power, and your Self fully intact.

It asks the questions each of us will have to answer, not in some far-distant future, but here and now.
