Vannevar Bush

Foreword

By Edo Segal

I have been building at the frontier of technology for thirty years. I watched the internet arrive. I saw mobile reshape everything. I lived through the streaming revolution from inside the company that was both its first casualty and its proof of concept.

Each transition felt enormous at the time. Each one collapsed a barrier between human intention and machine capability. And each one, I now realize, was a rehearsal.

But when I sat down to write You On AI, I knew I needed more than just a builder's perspective. The AI revolution demands multiple lenses. It requires us to look beyond the immediate exhilaration of what the tools can do and ask deeper questions about what they mean.

That's why this book on Vannevar Bush matters right now.
