I’m looking for an English‑language publishing partner (trade press or serious indie) for my finished manuscript, “Thinking Outsourcing: The Hidden Cost of Surrendering Your Mind to AI.” The work is complete (≈105 k words) and professionally edited in Korean; an English draft is now ready for publisher review.

What the book is about

• Core thesis: Generative AI tempts us to outsource not just tasks but thinking itself. Unless we cultivate structured thought, critical judgment, and individual “taste capital,” we risk becoming mere consumers of machine output.

• Style: Conversational, example‑driven, laced with philosophy (Heidegger, Wittgenstein), cognitive science (Kahneman, Sweller), and real‑world AI case studies (AlphaFold, AlphaTensor, LLM prompt workflows).

• Audience: Tech‑literate but non‑specialist readers who want a deeper framework than “prompt tips,” plus product managers, educators, and founders navigating AI adoption.

• Differentiator: Combines cultural critique with highly practical “AI collaboration cycles” (tool‑agnostic checklists, automation recipes, second‑brain workflows). Early beta readers say it sits “between The Shallows and Make Time, with hands‑on AI playbooks.”

Why this might interest HN

• AI literacy + humane computing are perennial Hacker News topics.

• Book grew out of experiments shared on my blog and HN comments; many workflows use open‑source tools (n8n, LangChain, local LLMs).

• I’m seeking introductions to English‑language publishers or literary agents who handle thoughtful tech‑culture nonfiction. Advance/royalty terms negotiable; happy with US, UK, or global English rights.

What I can share immediately

• Full English draft (DOCX/PDF)

• Table of contents & sample chapters (Google Drive link or private URL)

• Korean edition proposal and endorsements from industry practitioners

About me

• AI educator, former language‑model PM, founder at 3blocks (on‑prem & security‑focused AI).

If you can connect me with an acquisitions editor or agent—or just want to beta‑read—please email "haebom@kakao.com". Happy to swap sample chapters for candid feedback.

Thank you!
