My Latest Release
THE GILDED CAiGE
What if the greatest threat to your freedom was something you
welcomed with open arms?
We live in a world where smart devices anticipate our needs, digital assistants
complete our sentences, and cities are optimized for seamless, efficient living.
But behind the curtain of convenience lies something far more dangerous—a
silent system of control so elegant, so integrated, that most people never see
the bars.
In The Gilded CAiGE, author R. Dale Brunet pulls back the digital veil to
reveal the hidden structures shaping modern life.
From facial recognition
on our streets to algorithmic judges in our courts, Brunet explores how
artificial intelligence, surveillance, and predictive governance are
reconfiguring the very foundations of human autonomy. This isn’t science
fiction—it’s the architecture of our present.
Far from a dystopian scream, The Gilded CAiGE is a thoughtful, urgent
invitation to awareness. With razor-sharp insight and real-world examples,
Brunet challenges readers to examine the systems they interact with every
day—and to ask who benefits when convenience replaces choice.
Whether you're a technologist, policymaker, activist, or simply someone
trying to make sense of the world, this book will change how you see the
digital landscape—and your place within it.
About the Author
R. Dale Brunet is a technologist, cultural observer, and lifelong advocate for
human-centered systems. Drawing from decades in IT and a passion for social
ethics, Brunet writes at the
intersection of technology,
philosophy, and personal
freedom.
The Gilded CAiGE is his call to
action: not to reject technology,
but to reclaim our voice in
shaping its future.
Singular Vision: To empower people to use what they’ve got to create something extraordinary.
My purpose isn’t just to build businesses or write books—it’s to inspire resilience, harness innovation, and preserve the essence of who we are for generations to come.
As an author, I wield words to demystify the future and ignite action.
My Artificial Intelligence Survival Guide series and Use What You Got and Make a Lot aren’t just books—they’re blueprints for navigating a tech-driven world with grit and creativity. I’ve penned over 20 titles, blending AI’s power with practical wisdom, because I believe knowledge should lift us up, not leave us behind.
My goal is to equip dreamers—entrepreneurs, visionaries, everyday folks—with tools to turn ideas into impact.
As a publisher, I’m building a legacy engine through Use What You Got Publishing. It’s more than a business—it’s a mission to amplify voices, from the entrepreneurial tales of One Million Dreams to personal memoirs that endure. I want to redefine publishing, making it a space where stories don’t just get told—they get remembered, shared, and celebrated.
As an entrepreneur and AI visionary, I’m pushing boundaries with LifeCapsule AI. This isn’t about tech for tech’s sake—it’s about capturing life’s meaning through symbolic memory, ensuring your journey outlives you. My goal is bold: to transform AI from a tool into a companion that mirrors your identity, emotions, and values.
It’s the culmination of decades in IT, a chef’s hustle, and a storyteller’s heart—a platform to make legacy accessible to all.
Why do I do this? Because I’ve lived reinvention—from Louisiana roots to Colorado kitchens, from code to artificial intelligence—and I know what’s possible when you lean into what you have. As a speaker, I share that fire, urging audiences to embrace change, leverage technology, and build something lasting.
My platform is a call to action: dream big, adapt fast, and leave a mark that matters.
