A new large-print book

AI, Explained
From Zero

Using AI safely, for Canadians of a certain vintage, and the kids who keep fixing their phones.

Plain words, big print, and pictures that do half the explaining. No jargon you have to look up, and nothing that assumes you already know the step it skipped.

Meet Maggie and the Intern

Maggie has seen every gadget come and go since the rotary phone. The Intern is the AI: eager, quick, wearing a Day 1 badge, and every now and then confidently wrong.

Together they show you how to ask good questions, spot when the answer is off, and keep yourself safe while you're at it.
