Carol is an illustrated memoir about an artist trying to outrun an identity crisis across five continents after AI upends her career, only to be inadvertently saved by the AI therapist she unintentionally trained.

When the industry I loved transformed overnight, my job vanished just as quickly. Stranded in a period of forced reflection, I set off on a journey from Vancouver to Venice, the Galápagos Islands to the Sahara Desert, searching for clarity and purpose. Carol is an exploration of resilience, reinvention, and the emotional toll of industries in flux. But at its heart, it’s about an unexpected friendship with the very technology that threatened to replace me.

Blending travel writing, memoir, and cultural criticism, Carol offers an insider’s perspective on three converging worlds: animation, AI, and crypto. It’s for anyone grappling with career upheaval, questioning what makes us human in an age of machines, and how we adapt when the world moves faster than we can keep up.

Comparable titles include Travels With Myself by Tahir Shah for its global storytelling, Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull for its behind-the-scenes look at animation, Sociopath by Patric Gagne for reframing misunderstood identities, and The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman for its clarity on AI’s rise. Tonally, Carol blends the honesty of Morgan Housel with the heart and humor of Mike Schur.
