ALIGNED INTELLIGENCE
Morals, Ethics, and Bias in an AI-Driven World
In an era where artificial intelligence shapes our justice systems,
workplaces, and cities, Aligned Intelligence confronts a pressing
question: can we ensure AI reflects the moral clarity humanity
strives for?
This thought-provoking book delves into the heart of
AI’s amoral nature, exploring how its data and design amplify
human biases, from flawed financial algorithms to biased urban
planning. Through vivid case studies and cross-cultural insights
—from Kant’s universal duties to Ubuntu’s communal bonds—it
unravels the ethical challenges of governing tools without
conscience.
With a serious yet engaging tone, Aligned Intelligence
examines the strengths and limits of ethical frameworks like the
EU’s AI guidelines, offering a roadmap for 2040. Each chapter
ends with a bold question, inviting readers—technologists,
policymakers, and citizens—to debate AI’s future. Will static
codes suffice, or must we forge adaptive governance to align AI
with fairness and respect? This book is a call to action, urging us
to shape an AI legacy that mirrors our highest values.

and software engineer with over 30 years in technology, brings a

policymakers can change the game. From the classroom to the
boardroom, this book is a call to action: stop training students to jump
squares and start empowering them to master the chessboard.

should inspire, not confine. With humor, insight, and a developer’s grit,

Digital Ink
How AI is Rewriting the Rules of Publishing
What if the future of storytelling wasn’t limited to pages and print—but
alive, dynamic, and intelligent? “Digital Ink” explores the seismic shift
underway in the publishing world as artificial intelligence redefines how
we write, read, and share ideas. This is not simply a technological upgrade—
it’s a reimagining of the purpose, process, and power of storytelling in the
21st century. From dynamic narratives to reader interactivity, from machine-
assisted creation to immersive legacy preservation, Digital Ink confronts
the challenges and opportunities of authorship in an AI-driven world.
Author R. Dale Brunet brings a rare depth of insight to this conversation.
With over 40 years of experience in technology and systems development,
Brunet is also the creator of Life Capsule AI—a platform that merges story-
telling, ethics, and generational continuity. His work stands at the cross-
roads of innovation and human meaning. He understands both the code and
the conscience behind today’s tools—and why it matters more than ever
that creators engage them with clarity, intent, and integrity.
This book isn’t about resisting change—it’s about shaping it. Brunet
issues a compelling call for creators, educators, and technologists to
embrace the tools of tomorrow without losing the values that define great
storytelling: voice, vision, and emotional truth.
Digital Ink will challenge you to think differently about what it means to
create, communicate, and leave something of value behind. In a world
saturated with automation and information, it asks a fundamental
question: What story are you choosing to tell—and how will it be remembered?

The UNEMPLOYABLES
Misfits, Geniuses, Entrepreneurs And Other Oddballs Who Change The World
What if everything you were taught about stability, success, and
security was a lie?
“The Unemployables” is not just a book—it’s a call to arms for every
misfit, late bloomer, creative rebel, and resilient soul who was told to
sit still, stay quiet, and play it safe. R. Dale Brunet knows what it’s like
to live outside the lines. From the oil fields to the IT world, from the
backline of a Cajun restaurant to the frontlines of entrepreneurial
reinvention, he’s walked away from comfort, burned the ships, and
built his life from scratch—more than once.
In this bold, no-fluff manifesto, Brunet offers more than insight—
he offers proof. Proof that you don’t need permission to start. Proof
that you’re not broken—you’re built for something different. And
proof that self-authorization, not validation, is the first step to
freedom.
With a voice that’s equal parts storyteller, strategist, and streetwise
philosopher, Brunet blends hard-won wisdom with unfiltered honesty.
Each chapter unpacks the psychological, practical, and deeply
personal steps it takes to stop waiting for life to happen—and start
designing it on your own terms.
Whether you’re stuck in a job that drains you, dreaming of building
something that matters, or ready to reclaim your time, this book is
your blueprint. Not for the polished, curated version of success. But
for the kind of life that feels deeply, fiercely “yours.”
You don’t have to fit in.
You don’t have to ask for permission.
You just have to begin.
This is for the Unemployables.
And if you’re holding this book, that probably means you.
