Dream Machine: The New Creative Economy.

A practitioner's account of the year generative AI re-platformed the creative industries — written from inside the work, week by week, between October 2025 and May 2026.

Eighteen chapters and eight deep-dive appendices, roughly 160,000 words. Each rebuild of the book ships as its own dated PDF, so earlier editions stay readable alongside the current one. Rebuilt every time a new newsletter issue lands.
