In a world where algorithms decide who works, who wins, and who vanishes, Collateral Damage: The People AI Left Behind reveals the human cost of automation hidden beneath the glossy narrative of progress.

From corporate boardrooms to factory floors, this book tells the stories that rarely make headlines — editors replaced by writing tools, teachers overshadowed by tutoring bots, engineers outsmarted by the systems they helped build. Each chapter blends real voices, ethical inquiry, and economic insight to expose the silent emotional toll of an age obsessed with efficiency.

Through powerful narratives and investigative depth, it asks the questions technology refuses to face: What happens to identity when work disappears? What becomes of purpose when intelligence is outsourced? And who takes responsibility for progress when no one feels accountable?

Collateral Damage isn't anti-technology — it's pro-humanity.
A haunting and hopeful exploration of what it means to stay human when everything human is being optimized.
