The Full Story - Writing at the intersection of AI · Play · Human Development

Ideas in progress. Research in motion. Vision in writing

This isn't a research paper dressed up for a general audience. It's the story of an idea that arrived early - shelved, revisited, and finally
caught up to by the technology that could make it real.
The Book traces Press Play to Grow! from its 2008 origins at John F. Kennedy University, through a few years of intermittent resurfacing,
to the moment AI made the whole thing buildable. Part memoir, part framework, part invitation to see play differently.
Targeting March 2027.
