The Agentic Mind

From Agents to Agentic Infrastructure

In 2036, thirty-eight thousand agents run Maya’s company. One line in the inventory reads only Other, and nobody can say what it means. This book explains how we get from today’s assistants to that morning: what an agent is, how it reasons, remembers and acts, and the infrastructure it needs to run safely at scale.

The Agentic Enterprise

From Infrastructure to Organizations, Economics, and Society

Once software can act, who is responsible for what it does? This book follows agents into the places where their actions have consequences: organizations of agents, the one-person company, how autonomous systems fail, the governance that keeps them in bounds, and who answers when a delegated decision goes wrong.
