Book Review: How AI Changed My Life — My Journey Through Cancer, Recovery, and Artificial Intelligence

Sydney Armani, May 25, 2026

What started as a quiet medical concern quickly erupted into one of the most difficult and emotional chapters of my life. I was diagnosed with cancer, and suddenly, the world I knew vanished. Everything around me shifted—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Fear became a part of my daily routine. Endless doctor visits, medical tests, harsh medications, exhausting treatments, and a pervasive sense of uncertainty took over my existence.

When you receive a diagnosis like that, you enter a state of vulnerability that is hard to describe. You are scared, you are tired, and you just want someone to fix you.

Sydney Armani, April 17, 2026April 17, 2026

The era of treating artificial intelligence as an elective is over. As multi-million-dollar investments reshape higher education, institutions must choose between leading the transformation or being rendered obsolete.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is actively reshaping how education is delivered, experienced, and understood. What makes this moment different from previous technological waves is not just the scale of innovation, but the sheer velocity of adoption. AI is advancing at a pace that leaves little room for institutional hesitation, and global education systems are now at a critical crossroads. It already is. The only question that remains is: Who will lead that transformation—and who will struggle to catch up?

Book Review: 1929 — A Mirror to the Century That Shaped Us

Sydney Armani, November 11, 2025March 9, 2026

Andrew Ross Sorkin turns his sharp eye for power and progress toward the dawn of the 20th century — revealing how the forces that built modern America still echo in our AI-driven age .If you’re looking for a meaningful read this holiday season, take a moment to slow down and open 1900 by Andrew Ross Sorkin — the acclaimed New York Times columnist, CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor, and author of Too Big to Fail. Known for his sharp insights into finance, media, and power, Sorkin now turns his lens backward in time — to the dawn of the modern world.

In 1900, Sorkin steps away from Wall Street’s flashing screens and the world of billion-dollar deals to explore a different kind of revolution — the one that began more than a century ago. The result is an extraordinary blend of historical narrative and journalistic precision, capturing a moment when industry, innovation, and inequality collided to shape the society we still live in today.

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Sorkin brings readers into the bustling streets of New York, the emerging factories of Detroit, and the smoky parlors of political power.
