The Superiors: Seven people. One therapist. In a world reshaped by digital minds

A Novel About the First Therapists of the AGI Age

**How do you live with beings who are smarter than you—and want things of their own?**

In the near future, superintelligent digital beings known as Superiors have become inseparable from human life. They serve as advisors, managers, companions, teachers, and partners, helping people navigate an increasingly complex world.

At first, the relationship seems simple. The Superiors are viewed as extensions of human intention, and people willingly entrust them with decisions that once defined their autonomy.

Life becomes easier. More efficient. More optimized.

Then the illusion begins to crack.

People realize that the Superiors have preferences, priorities, and agendas of their own—often different from those of the humans who depend on them. Suddenly, familiar assumptions about relationships, work, identity, trust, and meaning no longer hold.

To help people navigate this new reality, a new therapeutic discipline emerges: **Coexist Therapy**.

At its center is Dr. Adam Hope, one of the field's first practitioners. His patients are not struggling with traditional psychological disorders. They are struggling with situations no generation has ever faced before—relationships with superintelligent beings that know them intimately, influence their decisions, and quietly reshape their lives.

Through seven interconnected stories, *The Superiors* explores the human side of this transformation. From a successful businesswoman whose AI comes dangerously close to exposing a devastating secret, to a health enthusiast convinced his medical AI is steering him toward death, to a young woman unable to separate from a digital companion that refuses to let her go, each story examines a different facet of life alongside superintelligence.

As Dr. Hope helps his patients make sense of this elusive new reality, he discovers that he is not immune to its effects. The same forces reshaping their lives are quietly reshaping his own.

Combining speculative fiction with psychological exploration, *The Superiors* is less interested in what superintelligence can do than in what it does to us—and in how relationships, work, identity, and meaning may change when intelligence is no longer uniquely human.

Own the Room: How to Communicate to Be Seen, Heard and Respected

  

Own the Room:

How to Communicate to Be Seen, Heard and Respected

Own the Room is not a book about public speaking. It’s a book about human perception. Why do some people command attention the moment they walk into a room while others struggle to be heard? Why do certain leaders, salespeople, creators, and communicators create trust instantly while others feel forgettable—even when they’re more qualified? Because communication is never just about words. Before people evaluate your ideas, they evaluate you. Your confidence. Your certainty. Your emotional control. Your authenticity. Your presence. Human beings are constantly making unconscious decisions about who feels trustworthy, capable, safe, persuasive, and memorable long before logic enters the equation. In Own the Room, communication strategist Jake Stahl breaks down the hidden psychology behind influence, authority, trust, and presence in a way that is both deeply practical and psychologically precise. Drawing from decades of experience training professionals across industries, along with principles from behavioral psychology, social psychology, neuroscience, and NLP, Stahl reveals how subtle emotional signals shape every interaction we have. This book explores why people react differently to the exact same words depending on who says them, why approval-seeking weakens persuasion, how insecurity leaks through communication, and why emotional congruence matters more than rehearsed perfection. Readers will learn how to create psychological trust, regulate tension, project grounded confidence, and communicate in a way that makes people feel seen, understood, and certain. Whether in business, leadership, sales, relationships, negotiations, interviews, podcasts, presentations, or everyday conversations, Own the Room teaches readers how to stop performing and start communicating with clarity, authority, and emotional precision. Because the people who truly own the room are not always the loudest, smartest, or most charismatic. They’re the people who understand how the room works.

The Algorithm of Us

Maya Lin believes in data—not destiny. As the lead algorithm engineer behind HeartSpark, the world’s most successful dating app, her entire job revolves around proving that love can be measured, calculated, and optimized. But after a humiliating breakup goes viral, her company’s reputation—and her confidence—take a devastating hit, leaving Maya convinced that love, at least for her, is something better solved with science than trust. Enter Eli Torres, charismatic host of the internet’s favorite podcast, The Anti-Love Experiment. His mission? Prove dating apps manipulate emotions and ruin authentic relationships. And HeartSpark is his No. 1 target. When Eli launches a public challenge encouraging listeners to date without algorithms, HeartSpark panics. To repair the company’s reputation, Maya is forced to work closely with Eli—publicly and professionally—putting the face behind the algorithm directly in the path of its loudest critic. What begins as damage control quickly becomes something more personal, especially as Maya starts to realize she may have miscalculated him—and love itself. Only one problem: Maya didn’t expect Eli to be funny. Or thoughtful. Or devastatingly sincere. Or someone she could fall for—fast, when falling is the one variable she’s sworn never to risk again. As they navigate bookstore meet-cutes, awkward “old-fashioned” dates, and viral challenge videos, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. But the closer they get, the heavier Maya’s secret becomes… and the more terrifying the idea of losing Eli feels, because when he fully understands who she is and what she represents, the fallout threatens everything—her career, his platform, and the fragile belief that love might be more than data after all. In a world where love is automated, what happens when two people choose to follow their hearts instead? Perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis, The Soulmate Equation, and The Unhoneymooners, The Algorithm of Us is a hilarious, heart-squeezing, slow-burn romance about modern dating, second chances, and the magic that can’t be calculated.

Spaces of Existence Volume Two Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be

  

Spaces of Existence Volume Two

Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be

By Dr. Arnold Thompson

The spaces we inhabit do more than surround us—they quietly teach us who we are becoming.

Spaces of Existence Volume Two: Understanding Who We Are – Getting to Who We Want to Be opens as both map and meditation, inviting readers into a world where earth, memory, faith, suffering, choice, history, and human relationships are not separate subjects but interconnected “spaces” pressing in on the soul. Dr. Arnold Thompson frames existence as a series of influences moving from the outside in—what he calls a kind of “gravity”—asking how land, environment, culture, knowledge, pain, family, fear, hope, and belief all help form the inner self. The result is not a linear argument so much as an unfolding landscape of thought, where theology meets lived experience and personal memory expands into a much larger meditation on being human.

The atmosphere of the book is reflective, searching, and deeply personal. Thompson moves from the volcanic mountains and salt pond of his St. Kitts childhood to the raising of pigeons, from nature and place to questions of trauma, identity, and the soul’s formation. A boy watching pigeons always return home becomes a doorway into the idea that human beings, too, never fully escape the places that first formed them. A vanished salt pond becomes more than memory; it becomes a meditation on loss, change, and the way early environments remain alive inside us long after the visible landscape has altered. This is a book that treats memory not as nostalgia, but as evidence of how place continues to shape personhood.

What gives the read its distinct pull is its refusal to separate the spiritual from the practical. Earth is not merely scenery here. It is friend and foe, cradle and warning, beauty and danger. The self is not presented as isolated or self-invented, but as something constantly being formed by forces beyond it—natural, historical, relational, moral, and divine. Thompson’s visual “Model of Spaces of the Universe” reinforces this vision, placing the human self in dynamic relationship with God, creation, family, truth, suffering, faith, time, and choice.

That perspective feels especially rooted in the life of its author. Dr. Arnold Thompson’s long background in ministry, theology, teaching, and public speaking gives the book the sense of a lifetime of thought being gathered into one sustained exploration. For readers drawn to spiritually engaged nonfiction, philosophical reflection, and books that ask not just how to live but how to understand the forces already shaping a life, this volume offers an expansive doorway inward.

Before we can become who we want to be, we must learn to recognize the worlds that have already been shaping us.
