This book began with a simple observation: intelligence is no longer solitary. After a thousand days of working alongside AI, I've learned that the most profound changes happen not in the technology itself, but in how we think when we're not alone.
The centaur isn't a metaphor for dependence, but for synthesis. It describes the moment when we stop asking whether machines can think, and start noticing how thinking itself changes in their presence.
What we've explored together are not just tools or techniques, but ways of being. Each chapter has been a field note from a life spent between thoughts, between minds, between species of intelligence.
The future of thinking is not about control or replacement. It's about relation.
And it begins with a simple realization: we are already hybrid thinkers — weaving our own intelligence into the systems we've built. This isn't surrender. It's adaptation.
The question now is not what AI can do, but how we can become more conscious in its presence. How we can learn to think together, to create together, to be together in this new landscape of plural intelligence.
This is just the beginning. The next thousand days will teach us even more about what it means to think alongside another kind of mind.
The future of thinking is plural. And it's already here.
