Introducing Rebels of Reason – a forthcoming book that invites us to rethink our narrative of innovation. This compelling account highlights the unsung heroes and mavericks of technology who have emerged as the true architects of our modern era of artificial intelligence. From the legendary exploits of John “The Crunchman” Draper—the rebel who, armed with nothing more than a Cap’n Crunch whistle and an irreverent spirit, helped ignite the revolutionary journey from blue-boxing to the birth of AI—to the visionary thinkers who challenged the norms of their time, Rebels of Reason uncovers the surprising connections between early technological misfits and today’s digital marvels.

This book is not your typical history of technology; it is a compelling collection of ingenious rebels who kept the flame alive during the challenging times of artificial intelligence and turned the impossible into reality. The book was intentionally crafted in the same manner as Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge, reminiscent of how Michael Lewis might write about the history of AI. With engaging stories that blend wit, insight, and historical significance, Rebels of Reason illustrates how a courageous few challenged conventional wisdom, transformed obstacles into opportunities, and ultimately laid the foundation for the Age of AI.

If you've ever wondered how a handful of renegades sparked a revolution that changed the world—from brilliant women adept at numbers and images and bias to skilled professionals shaping the realm of cybernetics, and even young Nobel Prize winners who defeated their fathers in chess by the age of four—this book will leave you motivated, enlightened, and eager for more.
