Why this book
The constraint is no longer execution. It's quality judgment, direction, taste, and the conviction to know what's worth making at all.
Why now
Moore's Law doubled every eighteen months. AI capability is doubling even faster. The playbook built for the broadcast era can't survive the agentic one — and the leaders who wait for certainty will be managing what's left.
