Poof! The Disappearance of a Writer In the Age of AI is a comical romp through one Gen X writer's breathless struggle to keep up with the ever-changing technological landscape.

With deadpan honesty, award-winning author Shana Burg documents her decision to swap writing literary novels for digital marketing and then blogging about her life's passion: taking baths.

Shana weaves in cutting-edge research about how AI will impact all of our livelihoods as well as our biology, while challenging us to consider what makes us human after all.

Though Poof! packs a humorous punch, it delivers a powerful message that's no laughing matter. In replacing writers and other artists, AI is coming for our very souls.

Skipping through time, from past to present to future, this riveting memoir vividly illustrates the staggering pace of technological change. In raw terms, Shana details what creatives will lose and gain as the AI revolution accelerates-and how we can all prepare for the wild ride ahead.
