AI for T(w)eens: This Is Not a Textbook: How the Boring Stuff You Learn at School Is Behind Every App, Algorithm and AI You've Ever Used (Everyday AI)

The gift for the teenager who thinks they already know everything.

Spoiler: they don't know this yet.

Every app, algorithm and AI system they use every day was built using things they're learning at school right now. The Python loops. The if/then logic. The probability their Maths teacher keeps insisting will be useful one day.

This book connects those dots — in plain English, without talking down to them.

• How TikTok figures out exactly what keeps them scrolling
• Why ChatGPT sounds confident even when it's making things up
• How face recognition works — and why it gets some people wrong more than others
• What deepfakes actually are and how to spot them
• What AI genuinely cannot do (this chapter alone is worth it)
• Free tools to build their own AI model in an afternoon

Perfect for ages 10–16. Curious teenagers, strong students, anyone doing Computing, anyone who owns a phone — so, all of them.

Also genuinely useful for parents who want to understand what their kids are growing up into.

Written in a dry, British tone that treats teenagers like they're intelligent. Because they are.

Great for birthdays, Christmas, end of year, results day, or just because.
