The Little City that Went AI (Paperback)

Paperback. When the City of Riverton deploys an AI system to modernize its operations, leaders expect efficiency, automation, and cost savings.What they don't expect is the truth the system uncovers.Instead of revealing human error, the AI exposes the invisible labor that has been holding government together for decades-undocumented fixes, human workarounds, and institutional memory that no system ever captured. As the city chases innovation, its workforce becomes the only thing preventing collapse.This human-centered novel explores what really happens when a government "goes AI." Through the story of a small city facing big technological change, The Little City That Went AI reveals how identity, trust, and the quiet work of public servants shape the success-or failure-of digital transformation.A fictional story built on real patterns inside government agencies, this book illuminates a truth rarely acknowledged: AI doesn't replace people.It reveals how much people were carrying all along.For professionals in government, AI governance, public administration, and organizational change, this novel offers both a compelling narrative and a profound reflection on the future of work.
