Join us as we start a movement
The Great Unplugging (TGU) is not just a book, it is both a warning of danger and a call to action, and will soon become a movement by those who believe in being prepared for AI related attacks on our infrastructure. We are building a community of experts and concerned people to refine the plan outlined in TGU and begin advocating for the measures described in the guide.
The Amazon link below provides a preview to the guide, (see below to view the table of contents), and the Kindle version is available for a nominal price. The book will be provided to emergency management professionals and policy makers at no cost. Simply contact us using the form provided on the Contact page to request access or to join our network.
