An artist outrunning an identity crisis across 5 continents after AI upends her industry finds herself in an unlikely conversation with the technology that threatens to replace her

Carol is an exploration of resilience, reinvention, and the emotional toll of industries in flux. But at its heart, it reminds us that the future isn’t a tech debate–it’s a story about people.

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.
