01 — AI & Technology
AI Made Simple
The plain-English guide to understanding and using artificial intelligence — no jargon, no engineering degree required. Whether you're curious about ChatGPT, want to automate parts of your work, or just want to stop feeling left behind, this book gives you everything you need to get started and get results.

A practical guide to uncovering your history with the tools of today — from AI-powered genealogy searches to digitising old photos and documents.

03 — Smart Home
Smart Home Technology for Older Adults
Everything you need to know about smart home technology — written clearly for anyone who wants their home to work smarter. From voice assistants and smart lighting to security cameras and connected health devices, this guide cuts through the complexity and shows you what's genuinely useful, what to avoid, and how to set it all up with confidence.
Which book should you start with?
If AI still feels like something happening to other people, start with AI Made Simple. It covers what these tools actually do, how to talk to them, and where they save real time — in plain English, with no engineering degree required. For a shorter taste of the same thinking, the free ChatGPT beginners guide covers the first few chapters' worth of ground.
Tracing Your Roots With AI does a different job: family history. It walks through AI-assisted genealogy searches, digitising old photos and documents, and getting past the wall most people hit a few generations back.
Smart Home Technology for Older Adults is still being written. It covers voice assistants, smart lighting, security cameras and connected health devices — what earns its place in a home, what to skip, and how to set it up without needing to phone anyone. Until it lands, the smart home starter kit guide covers the same territory for a general audience.
What the books do that the articles don't
Everything on this site is free and stays free. The difference is shape. An article tests one product or one workflow and reports back. A book takes a whole subject and builds it in order, so you finish with a system instead of a pile of tips. Same voice, same hands-on testing, considerably more room. If you would rather read a few pieces first, the AI tools and guides hub is the place to start.
Questions people actually ask
Where can I buy the books?
On Amazon — each cover above links straight to its listing. The third title is not out yet, and it will appear here the day it is.
Do I need any technical knowledge to read them?
No. That is the point of AI Made Simple in particular: plain English, no jargon left unexplained, no engineering degree required. If you can use a web browser, you can follow it.
Which one should I read first?
Pick by the job you want done rather than by order. New to AI, start with AI Made Simple. Researching your family history, start with Tracing Your Roots With AI. Neither depends on the other.
Is Smart Home Technology for Older Adults available yet?
Not yet. It is marked Coming Soon above, and the fastest way to hear when it publishes is the newsletter — the same one that carries new articles each week.
Are the books just the free guides collected together?
No. The guides each solve one problem end to end. The books take a subject from nothing to working, in sequence, with the parts an article has no room for.
