Too lazy to read? No problem! Here’s a short podcast to give you the intro 🎧.

The author of Lost in #digitalization blends reality and fiction, portraying himself as both the storyteller and the central character, the Founder.

While rooted in real-life IT industry experiences, the author uses the fictional Founder as an alter ego to reflect his own professional journey, challenges, and ideals. Through this character, the author explores the absurdities and truths of modern work culture, crafting stories that entertain while provoking thought.

The author draws inspiration from his own journals, character studies developed over many years, and some of his publications. He also used various LLMs to support his creative writing process.
