Practical Guides & Everyday Understanding

Start with a concrete need: working out prices, recognising scams or learning about autism and neurodiversity. These titles serve different purposes, so use the individual notes to choose your starting point.

 
Donato profile picture
My pick for independent sellers who want to work through pricing decisions on paper. The 96-page workbook covers costs, fees, margin, break-even and six pricing tests, so it offers a concrete task rather than general business motivation. Choose the p...
Price With Confidence: Pricing & Profit Workbook

I chose this for readers who want one starting point for recognising scams both on a screen and in everyday life. That wider scope makes it a different choice from an IT-only security manual. Paperback and Kindle are listed. Use the sample to check t...
Safe and Secure: Guide to Avoiding Scams

This is the people-focused choice in the collection: an introduction to autism and neurodiversity rather than another technology handbook. I included it for readers exploring the subject and looking for terminology to investigate further. Paperback a...

Science, AI & Creator Technology

Choose a broad introduction to AI or quantum science, a practical prompting handbook, or the more specialised LSL-to-Lua migration manual. Match the book to your current knowledge and check up-to-date documentation for changing technologies.

I included this for Second Life creators who already know LSL and want a focused migration reference, not a general beginner’s programming course. Its 42 pages pair familiar scripting patterns with Lua/Luau examples and testing checklists. Paperback ...

Choose this if your interest in AI is practical: how to give clearer instructions and think about responsible use. I selected it as the task-focused companion to Minds of Metal, which takes a broader view of the field. Paperback and Kindle are listed...
Essentials of Prompt Engineering in AI

Donato profile picture
This is my starting-point pick for someone curious about the relationship between AI, machine learning and robotics. The broad scope makes it a better fit for orientation than for a narrowly defined coding task. Paperback and Kindle are listed. Compa...

I included this for readers whose next question is about quantum science rather than AI. Its introductory positioning makes it a candidate for exploring the subject before committing to a specialist textbook. Paperback and Kindle are listed. Check th...

Curious Fiction & Felric Stories

From a full-length time-slip adventure to a metaphysical love story and four short Felric tales. Choose by reading length and mood: larger adventures, philosophical questions or everyday situations that turn uncanny.

 
Donato profile picture
My choice here for a longer fantasy adventure: London archivist Felicity Reed faces conflicting histories and a secret society guarding time. The 419-page paperback offers a more substantial reading commitment than the short Felric tales. Pick it if ...
The Chrono Society

Donato profile picture
I chose this for the reader who wants philosophical speculation woven into a love story. Andem’s connection with another dimension makes it a different route into big questions from the author’s factual handbooks. At 109 paperback pages it is a short...
Simple Reality

Donato profile picture
My pick for a brief, unsettling detour rather than a full-length novel. A late-night cab journey gives this Felric story a confined setting and a clear atmosphere-first hook. Choose it if ordinary situations turning strange appeal to you; preview the...
The Passenger: A Felric Story (Felric Stories)
placeholder
 
Donato profile picture
I included this for readers drawn to identity and the uneasy feeling that a familiar home is no longer yours. The flat-swap premise distinguishes it from The Passenger’s night journey while keeping the compact Felric format. Choose it for uncanny dom...
Switch: A Felric Story (Felric Stories)

Donato profile picture
I selected this for readers who like their unsettling fiction to turn on time, memory and the possibility of another life. A faulty inherited watch gives writer Lucian Wardy a more intimate time-slip problem than the larger adventure in The Chrono So...
The Watch That Forgot Time: A Felric Story
placeholder
 
Donato profile picture
This is my pick for someone who likes a ghostly premise with questions about care and memory. A child’s apparently impossible companion gives The Caretaker a different emotional starting point from the other Felric tales. Expect an unsettling short s...
