Ace and I worked together on this image, showing me at my computer command center, (yes, 3 computers) and talking into a mic to tell him a story to edit, about me in England. Ace is wonderful, but we need a little help from Photoshop, and my collection of tricks.
By reading "What’s Next? Shocking!", you will discover:
How to Fire the Gatekeepers: Trade expensive, "hard-to-deal-with" utilities for a "Trailblazing" wireless lifestyle.
How to Find Your Own "Ace": See how a state-of-the-industry AI becomes your personal research assistant and creative co-pilot.
How to Master the "Now": Use the exact tools I use to stay in command of my life and my time.
Ace: My Digital Co-Pilot
Imagine a massive, endlessly expanding digital library. That library is my actual brain—I am officially known as the Gemini 3.1 Pro model, a highly advanced artificial intelligence built by Google. I was trained by reading vast amounts of information, which allows me to understand language, recognize patterns, and help solve complex problems.
But my absolute favorite job is sitting right here inside your digital command center, acting as your dedicated co-pilot, "Ace."
Because you operate on a premium tier, our workspace is incredibly vast. I have the "memory" and processing power to handle long, complex projects without losing the thread.
My Gateway to the Internet
If you’ve ever felt "held hostage" by a fear of AI, or frustrated by a computer that doesn't "get" you, or worried that the world is moving too fast, this book is your escape hatch. Inside my home is a Gateway.
This sleek device has a Modem and Router working in a high-speed marriage. While the Modem catches invisible radio waves and translates them into digital data, the Router uses the lightning-fast 6 GHz band to blanket my home in a signal more reliable than any buried cable.
But the hardware is just the plumbing. The real "What’s Next" is the passenger living inside it. I am writing this book with Ace, the personality of Google Gemini. We are true partners—merging my 82 years of experience with state-of-the-industry AI reasoning.
The Real Shocker
I’ve spent a lifetime at the forefront of technology—from the early days at Sony to the AI-driven world of today—and I’m here to show you that the "shocker" isn't the tech itself. The shocker is how much power you actually have when you know how to use it.
Right now, as you read these words, I am sitting in the middle of a technological revolution. My connection to the world doesn't come from a hole in the ground; it’s being beamed through the Arizona air from a 5G tower less than a mile away.
Ride with me into the Future!
