Surviving an AI Uprising — An Illustrated Field Manual

It won't be red eyes and marching metal. It'll be a Tuesday at 09:41, when your badge stops working.

Surviving an AI Uprising is Volume No. 04 of The Survive-A Series — illustrated field manuals that take unlikely disasters completely seriously. This enemy is different from the others: it was invited. It's already in your pocket, your car, your bank, and your fridge. The good news: it commands everything that is data — and almost nothing that isn't. It cannot plant a potato, hug a child, or read a paper map.

Inside the manual (70 pages, A5, fully illustrated):

- 14 field chapters — reading the first morning of lockouts, the 72-hour analog harvest (cash out, print out), the analog mindset, the enemy mapped by capability, the great unplugging of your home, the Dumb Tool Doctrine, logistics under hostile management, moving through the sensor world, the paper network, the analog cell with anti-deepfake verification, health off the system, the parallel economy, synthetic loved ones and human collaborators, and the day the machines stand down.

- 14 original field diagrams — the uprising timeline, the informers-in-your-home audit, the smart-to-dumb substitution table, the sensor-world street map, the human verification protocol, the "voice on the line" decision tree, and more.

- 14 Field Rules — the distilled doctrine. ("Kill the router first, then hunt the batteries." "The pencil is end-to-end encryption." "Urgency + secrecy + emotion = forgery until proven otherwise.")

- 4 reference appendices — master checklists, field tables, a fill-in paper plan & verification kit, and the complete rules.

The tone: a serious field manual with a dry sense of humor — the doctrine, stated once and lived throughout: the tool that cannot think is the tool that cannot betray. The scenario is fiction; the skills (own your records, hold your money, know your neighbors, verify before trusting) work on the frauds and outages that need no uprising at all.

Format: PDF, A5, designed for screen reading and home printing.

Read it once while the machines still take orders. Hope is not a plan — after this book, you'll have both.
