My Last Email

Hi there!

It's been a while.

I started this email list about a year ago for one reason: to keep you informed of my year of AI, which became my book.

Well, that book is about to be released. In less than a month, I AM NOT A ROBOT: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything hits store shelves.

Humans already seem to love it. “Stern’s balanced, clear-eyed assessments and crisp, funny prose make this stand out among the growing crowd of books on AI,” says a fine person at Publishers Weekly. The New York Times declared it one of the most exciting books of the spring. The Next Big Idea Club just said it’s a must read.

If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, please do! You can do it right at my personal website:

Pre-order the book right here. Right now.

Pre-orders, as I am learning as a first time author, make a huge difference. Plus, if you order now, I’ll send you a free pin, which is exciting for anyone who has ever wanted to work at TGI Fridays.

But there's more for you to do. Next week, I'm launching The New Things! Yes, you might have heard I left the Wall Street Journal and I’ve been building my own independent tech media company. Newsletters. Videos. Live events. We’re doing it all.

So this personal list is winding down and moving over to The New Things. I really hope you’ll come along for the ride. But if not, you can hit unsubscribe at the bottom of this email. No hard feelings.

But because you've been on this journey with me, I wanted you to be the first to know:

You can get a paid subscription to New Things now!

Early paid subscribers get in at the founding rate before prices go up and have access to some cool book and events perks. Check it out!

Thank you for being here for the book. I’m so excited to have you here for all the new things ahead.

See you soon,

Joanna Stern
