Miles Kenner is a writer, educator, and cultural analyst whose work explores the intersections of technology, mythology, and philosophy. With a deep curiosity for both the future and the past, Kenner examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping daily life while drawing rich parallels to the ancient stories and timeless questions that have guided human societies for centuries. His writing blends clarity with depth, making complex subjects accessible to general readers without losing nuance. In his work, Kenner unpacks not only the technical realities of AI but also its psychological, ethical, and cultural implications-inviting readers to ask better questions about how we live with machines and what it means to remain human in an increasingly automated world. Beyond technology, Kenner is deeply engaged in the study of mythology and philosophy, particularly how they influence identity, belief, and collective behavior. He explores how old narratives-myths of gods, monsters, and moral trials-continue to echo in modern institutions, ideologies, and technologies. His forthcoming work expands on how these mythic frameworks still shape our understanding of truth, power, and purpose. Kenner has written for a wide range of audiences, from tech-savvy readers seeking clarity on AI, to lifelong learners interested in the philosophical roots of culture and consciousness. His work encourages reflection and active dialogue-always rooted in the belief that knowledge should be both empowering and engaging. When not writing, Miles Kenner can often be found exploring museums, collecting obscure trivia about ancient civilizations, or getting lost in conversations about consciousness, creativity, and the nature of change.
