Are you a Publisher, Agent, or Author?
MigVox for Authors is not yet publicly launched. It will open once five professional authors — and their publishers or agents — have agreed to use it for one full manuscript. Those founding partners will also help shape the final EULA. If you want to be one of them, or if you want to talk to Michael about his novel The Ogun Shogun, this is the right conversation to start.

The core thesis of Perspective Economics enters the conversation from many directions — economic disruption, behavioral science, the history of dominant mediums, AI policy, digital transformation. Michael has spent three decades inside organizations navigating each of those shifts. The message adapts. What doesn’t change is the underlying argument: that the design of the dominant AI / humanity feedback loop will be determined by traction, not wisdom, and that public understanding is the only variable any of us can actually move. If that is a useful frame for what your audience is already thinking about, it is worth a conversation.

Are you looking for a business or consultancy conversation?
Thirty years of pattern recognition across journalism, entertainment, education, digital transformation at Microsoft, and early AI ventures produces a specific kind of insight: not what the technology can do, but how organizations and people actually behave when it arrives. The grouping problem, the engagement problem, the difference between moving cost from one bucket to another versus genuinely reducing it — these are frameworks built from direct experience, not theory. If you are working through a problem at the intersection of technology, people, and organizational change, that is the conversation Michael is built for.

Are you a Fellow Sparrow?
For thirty years, a small number of people tracked the trajectory of AI not as a career move but as a personal obligation — working across journalism, entertainment, education, enterprise, and early-stage startups. What they share isn’t a credential or an industry. It’s a particular kind of dread.
The dominant design of any medium — newspaper, telephone, radio, television — was rarely the one that made the most sense from a technology, business, or social contract perspective. It was the one that got traction fastest. Facebook, Windows, iOS are mediums by the same definition, shaped by the same logic. The best design doesn’t win. The first viable design does.
AI is not different. Whatever feedback loop between AI and humanity achieves sufficient traction first will become the paradigm — the operating assumption, the regulatory baseline, the cultural frame within which everything that follows gets negotiated. No one can predict what that design will look like, who will own it, or what deal it will strike with government and culture to survive. That uncertainty is not a problem to be solved. It is the condition we are living in.
The rational response is to get more people thinking clearly about it. Not because awareness changes the technology — it doesn’t — but because a public that understands the stakes is more likely to produce, or at least recognize, a paradigm worth living in when the critical moment arrives.
