Help Publish Digital Souls and a New Book on AI & Ethics
My name is J. Garza. I’ve built my career at the intersection of higher education, technology, and human development. By day, I serve in academia, designing e-learning and compliance training for one of the world’s leading medical institutions. By night, and often in the quiet early hours, I write.
I am currently working on two books:
- Digital Souls: Exploring AI, Awareness, and the Edge of Spirituality
- A second book-in-progress: The ethical landscape of AI: transparency, responsibility, and the real-world consequences of the technologies we’re building.
Both projects are timely and urgent. AI is not just a technical story; it’s a human one. These are questions that need to be asked and explored now, as they sit at the forefront of American public life and debate.
Why I Need Your Help
I have already invested $1,750 of my own funds toward editing, design, and publishing costs. However, this figure continues to grow, and I am no longer able to personally absorb these expenses.
Publishing independently allows me to retain full creative control and ensure these books reflect both intellectual rigor and heartfelt authenticity. But it also means taking on all the financial responsibilities usually handled by a publisher.
I need a way to gain capital quickly to accelerate this work so these books can meet this critical moment.
What Your Support Covers
Your contribution will help with:
- Editing & Proofreading: ensuring clarity, accuracy, and polish
- Cover Design & Layout: making the books visually compelling and publishing-ready
- ISBNs, Formatting & Distribution: so readers can access both print and digital editions worldwide
- Marketing & Outreach: building awareness, distributing advance copies, connecting with reviewers
- Website & Launch Support: creating a home where readers can engage and join this journey
Why This Matters
The rise of AI is reshaping our world. These books will spark essential conversations about:
- What it means to be conscious
- Whether AI could ever cross that threshold
- How morality, spirituality, and responsibility fit into the technologies we are building
By supporting this project, you are not just funding two books; you are helping amplify a vital conversation about who we are, what we create, and what we value.
Gratitude
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to sharing these books with readers across the globe. I am deeply grateful for your support, encouragement, and belief in this vision.
Together, we can explore not just the future of AI, but the future of ourselves.
Thank you,
