Start with the question you actually have
A first AI book should reduce confusion before it adds vocabulary. If the reader wants the broad map, AI From A to Z is the clearest starting point in the current Veristio Press catalog. If the reader already uses AI tools at work, Working with ChatGPT or Developing AI Prompting Skills may be the more practical first move.
The point is not to read the shelf in publication order. The better path is to choose the title that matches the reader need: understanding, responsible use, stronger conversations, or future-facing technology.
A practical order
Readers new to the field can begin with AI From A to Z, continue to Human Creativity + AI Synthesis for the human-work question, and then move into Working with ChatGPT or Developing AI Prompting Skills when they want operating patterns.
Readers who already understand the basics can move directly to AI to Quantum or Communications in the AI World when their interest is emerging infrastructure rather than everyday AI use.
