The Ground Is Shaking is not a technical manual or a business strategy guide. It doesn't promise to make you more productive or tell you which AI tools to adopt. Instead it asks the questions that matter more: When machines can do more and more of what humans do, what makes us irreplaceable? How do we maintain presence in an age that rewards efficiency above everything else? How do we cultivate wisdom when intelligence is instantly available — and preserve genuine human connection when sophisticated substitutes are increasingly compelling?
Written by Malcolm C Dragon — a contemplative Christian, community leader, and someone who used AI extensively in the writing of this very book — The Ground Is Shaking brings a distinctive wisdom tradition to bear on questions that technical analysis alone cannot answer.
It closes with A Rule of Life for an AI Age — a practical framework, adapted from monastic tradition, for staying human in an accelerating world.
For anyone who senses that something important is at stake but isn't sure how to respond: this book is for you.
