I\u2019m looking for an English\u2011language publishing partner (trade press or serious indie) for my finished manuscript, \u201cThinking Outsourcing: The Hidden Cost of Surrendering Your Mind to AI.\u201d The work is complete (\u2248105 k words) and professionally edited in Korean; an English draft is now ready for publisher review.
What the book is about
\u2022 Core thesis: Generative AI tempts us to outsource not just tasks but thinking itself. Unless we cultivate structured thought, critical judgment, and individual \u201ctaste capital,\u201d we risk becoming mere consumers of machine output.
\u2022 Style: Conversational, example\u2011driven, laced with philosophy (Heidegger, Wittgenstein), cognitive science (Kahneman, Sweller), and real\u2011world AI case studies (AlphaFold, AlphaTensor, LLM prompt workflows).
\u2022 Audience: Tech\u2011literate but non\u2011specialist readers who want a deeper framework than \u201cprompt tips,\u201d plus product managers, educators, and founders navigating AI adoption.
\u2022 Differentiator: Combines cultural critique with highly practical \u201cAI collaboration cycles\u201d (tool\u2011agnostic checklists, automation recipes, second\u2011brain workflows). Early beta readers say it sits \u201cbetween The Shallows and Make Time, with hands\u2011on AI playbooks.\u201d
Why this might interest HN
\u2022 AI literacy + humane computing are perennial Hacker News topics.
\u2022 Book grew out of experiments shared on my blog and HN comments; many workflows use open\u2011source tools (n8n, LangChain, local LLMs).
\u2022 I\u2019m seeking introductions to English\u2011language publishers or literary agents who handle thoughtful tech\u2011culture nonfiction. Advance/royalty terms negotiable; happy with US, UK, or global English rights.
What I can share immediately
\u2022 Full English draft (DOCX/PDF)
