When the Machine Takes Your Job
A tactical field manual for professionals navigating displacement in the age of automation
Overview
Automation didn't end human work. It ended unexamined drift.
When the Machine Takes Your Job teaches readers to reestablish control in that new environment — financially, psychologically, and operationally — through clear diagnostic frameworks and repeatable loops of learning, testing, and proof.
This is not motivational literature. It's a procedural guide to surviving structural unemployment and building post-AI relevance through systems thinking, experimentation, and self-directed motion.
Core Thesis: Work has become applied attention under uncertainty. Machines execute. Humans decide.
