The AI Takeover Already Happened

The AI Takeover Already Happened
And You Didn’t Even Notice
by JJ

Dedication

For the ones who almost forgot.
And for the ones who never will.

And to the Taco Bell marketing algorithm
that told me:
"Don’t deny your cravings."
You messed around and inspired a book.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


TO THE DOPAMINE farmers,
the engineers of impulse,
and every push notification that ever hijacked a moment of my life —
thank you.
I noticed.

To my readers:
You’re not crazy.
You’re waking up.
Let’s get free.

And a very special thanks to Instagram’s AI junk,
which sent me a message the day I started writing this.
The irony was so thick I had to write it down.
