At The Threshold

At The Threshold is a five-part bridge series on Mindful Machines Journal, published monthly from December 2025 to April 2026. It maps the crossing between the historical arc of AI traced in Between Brain & Binary and the present-day psychology explored in Minds in the Machine Age.

Where Between Brain & Binary looks backward across two centuries, At The Threshold stays close to the present moment — the years just before and after large language models entered daily life. Each instalment asks what changes, psychologically, when AI moves from a tool we occasionally use to a presence we routinely interact with.

Read in order, the series moves from a single inflection point — the ChatGPT moment — outward to bigger questions about trust, presence, attention, and identity.
