FAIK

About This Audiobook

Perry Carpenter cracks open the black box of AI deception with a scalpel-sharp focus on the threats hiding in plain sight. FAIK isn’t another breathless hype-fest about how AI will take over the world—it’s a field guide to surviving what it’s already doing to us. Carpenter, a veteran cybersecurity strategist, dismantles viral deepfakes, phishing scams that feel weirdly personal, and corporate chatbots that manipulate users before they even realize they’ve been had. The book pairs hard tech with human psychology, showing listeners exactly how persuasion algorithms hijack attention and why two-factor authentication won’t save you when the scam starts with an AI-generated clone of your boss’s voice. If you’ve ever hesitated before answering a call from an unknown number—only to realize it might be your own mother begging for Bitcoin—FAIK is the manual you didn’t know you needed.

Keith Brown’s narration lands like a no-nonsense mentor who’s seen it all and isn’t here to sugarcoat. His measured pace and dry wit make complex attack vectors digestible without dumbing them down, and his vocal precision turns jargon like ‘prompt injection’ and ‘LLM jailbreak’ into vivid threats you can picture in your nightmares. The production floats Brown’s voice above crisp audio, letting the urgency of Carpenter’s warnings hit home without distraction.
