Dave Fraser

I’m a retired operations manager from the North West of England. Over my working life, I’ve seen how technology and AI are quietly reshaping jobs, workplaces, and everyday life. Most people have already noticed AI slowly creeping into their lives — from self-service checkouts in supermarkets to online banking apps, digital assistants, and even automated customer service systems.

I wrote The Coming AI Shock to help ordinary people understand these changes and prepare for the future. The book explains how AI might affect jobs, wages, families, housing, and communities across the UK — and offers practical advice for individuals and households to adapt. My goal is simple: cut through the jargon and explain what’s coming in a way anyone can understand.

Whether you’re a worker, parent, or simply curious about the future of work and society, this book gives you the insight you need to make informed decisions and plan ahead. If you’re concerned about how AI might affect your work, family, or community, this book is for you.
