Here is one of the cards.

A whole card, not a sample of one. There are a hundred of them, in plain words, and they are free.

Staying safe

Phishing

A message pretending to be your bank, a courier or your boss. The giveaway is urgency plus a link — act now, before you think to check who really sent it.

Think of it asA stranger in a courier's uniform asking for your keys.

For exampleA text says your package is stuck and you must pay a small fee now. There is no package. Someone wants your card number, and the word “now” is the trick.

Every card is built the same way. The word. What it actually is. A small drawing of it happening. Something to compare it to. One moment from real life.

The download page asks for an email address so the file has somewhere to go. That is all it is used for.

Two more, so you can see it holds.

Getting online

Public Wi-Fi

The real danger now is rarely eavesdropping — it is a fake network wearing a familiar name. Ask staff for the exact name, and do no banking on one you did not verify.

Think of it asA private conversation held in a crowded waiting room.

For exampleThe café has free internet. So does every person sitting in it, and you cannot see which of them is which.

AI in everyday life

Deepfake

Fake video or a cloned voice of a real person, now made from seconds of recording. Agree a word with your family that a caller in distress would have to know.

Think of it asA forged portrait that also moves and speaks.

For exampleYour daughter calls in tears asking for money. The voice is exactly hers. Ask her the word only your family knows.

There are ninety-seven more.

The Pocket 100 is free. One hundred complete cards — getting online, your devices, browsing, money, staying safe, AI, the smart home, and the words that just get thrown around.

It is not a taster for a bigger book. The hundred are finished and they stand on their own.

Why it is free, plainly

We are a small press and nobody has heard of us. Giving away a hundred finished cards is how we introduce ourselves. Some people go on to buy a larger set. Most never do. The hundred are yours either way.

It arrives as downloads — a PDF, an EPUB for a phone or e-reader, and an interactive version that opens in a browser. Nothing is printed and nothing arrives in the post.

If you are here because of your mother or your father

— and the parcel text they forwarded you — a card is easier to send than an explanation. Send one, when it comes up. Nobody feels tested, and nothing in these cards talks down to anyone.

If the hundred turn out to be useful, there is more of the same work. It is listed here so you know it exists, not because you need it.
