Danny Saar
The Crazy Journal of Dr. Hope
True Stories from
the Near Future
What happens when your AI is smarter than you — and has its own desires and agenda?
Dr. Adam Hope helps people navigate the most intimate and complex relationships of our time: their connections with ultra-advanced AI agents that increasingly control their lives.
IIn this groundbreaking book, Dr. Hope — a psychologist for the new era — shares deeply personal stories from his clients and from his own life, opening a window into a world where love, work, and human identity are rapidly evolving. These stories offer a startling and moving glimpse into a future that’s no longer science fiction — it’s already at our doorstep. Just as importantly, they offer insights into how we can preserve our sense of self as the boundary between human and machine begins to disappear.
Can we still shape our future — or is the outcome already decided?
The Mad Journal of Dr. Hope is a vital guide to life in a radically new reality.
Danny Saar takes us on a journey into the near future — a future that’s already arrived. It’s a journey we can no longer deny or delay, but one that also offers moments of unexpected beauty and deeply human wonder.
The Author's Journey
“Thirteen years ago, I wrote a draft of a story about a psychologist from the future — Dr. Adam Hope — who helps people navigate unconventional relationships with superintelligent AI applications. At the time, it still felt like distant science fiction, and the draft ended up gathering digital dust in the cloud.
When I returned to it last year, I realized that the future had already arrived. Suddenly, the stories felt relevant, human, and close. The text came back to life, and I continued it into a new and updated journey — one that follows Mia, Eric, Zoe, and other characters as they face questions that will soon concern us all, questions no one ever prepared us for.
It also felt like the right moment to develop an idea I’d been exploring for some time — Coexist Therapy — a therapeutic approach that deals with the evolving relationships between humans and non-human entities that know us deeply… perhaps a little too deeply”.
Danny Saar is a tech entrepreneur, high-tech professional, and father of three teenage daughters. This is his debut book.
