FEATURED BOOKSSET ASIDE: Power, Responsibility & Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
An examination of how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, power, and responsibility long before its effects are formally acknowledged. Rather than focusing on speculative futures or technical capabilities, the book analyzes how institutions behave once AI becomes cheap, fast, and easy to deploy at scale, and how risk, accountability, and agency are redistributed as a result. | eBook (Kindle) | Paperback

Staying Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Securing the Human Core through AI Orchestration Literacy
A manifesto for AI orchestration literacy and human-centered power. | eBook (Kindle) | Paperback | Hardcover

FEATURED PAPERSThe Enterprise AI Execution Problem - Turning AI Capability into Enterprise Outcomes
This Paper examines why enterprise AI deployments frequently fail to produce durable performance gains despite rapid adoption and demonstrable model capability. Drawing on empirical studies, field experiments, and standards guidance, it argues that execution failures are not primarily technical but organizational and cognitive in nature. The analysis shows that productivity gains from AI are highly conditional, dependent on verification practices, workflow design, accountability structures, and human oversight mechanisms rather than model sophistication alone. The paper introduces orchestration as the missing execution layer that aligns AI systems with human decision making, quality control, and institutional responsibility. It concludes that without explicit orchestration, enterprises risk amplifying error, degrading judgment, and mistaking activity for progress, even as AI usage scales. | Download from Zenodo |Toward a Governable Architecture for Agentic Enterprises
This Paper proposes a domain independent architectural backbone for making agent autonomy scalable without making oversight structurally infeasible. It reframes governance as an enforceable runtime property rather than a primarily procedural afterthought, grounded in distributed systems constraints, human cognitive limits, and security first principles. The paper defines a small set of stable runtime primitives, including agent identity and authority, policy evaluation and enforcement, provenance and traceability, risk adaptive supervision, monitoring, and containment mechanisms for fault and misuse propagation. It then organizes these primitives into a portable reference architecture and illustrates operational consequences through worked scenarios of failure propagation and successful containment under partial failure and adversarial pressure. | Download from Zenodo |Zero Trust as Foundational Infrastructure for Enterprise AI Enablement
This Paper presents Zero Trust as an operational force multiplier in the AI era. Drawing from CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model, NIST SP 800-207, the CSA AI Controls Matrix, and SABSA’s design principles and grounded in enterprise security architecture, it reframes security from risk containment to strategic acceleration. | Download from Zenodo |Your Attention Is All They Want
This Paper examines the structural mismatch between adolescent neurodevelopment and the high intensity digital environments that now shape their daily lives. Drawing from neuroscience, behavioral research, and platform architecture analysis, the paper demonstrates that adolescents are not failing at willpower but are overwhelmed by systems engineered for continuous engagement. It reframes digital overwhelm as a design-driven phenomenon rather than an individual deficit. | Download from Zenodo |AI Orchestration Literacy as Civic Infrastructure: Safeguarding Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
This Paper (which is the foundation for the book mentioned above) introduces Orchestration Literacy as a foundational civic framework for human-in-the-loop alignment in the age of generative AI. It reframes AI literacy as civic infrastructure and proposes orchestration as a constraint-guided, role-aware practice of engaging with generative systems. | Download from Zenodo |

About Us

Agency Collapse Publishing is an independent publishing and research imprint led by Sven D. Olensky, focused on AI orchestration, adaptive identity, and the structural impacts of AI on organizations and individuals.The work published here draws on decades of experience across enterprise security architecture, governance, and large-scale systems design, with an emphasis on translating complex technical realities into usable frameworks for real-world decision-making.In addition to publishing, Sven is the founder of the nonprofit AI Literacy For Everyone Foundation, and leads Georgia Network Security Consulting (GANSEC) where he works with organizations exploring how AI can be applied responsibly within existing technical, operational, and human constraints.His background includes long-term work in highly regulated environments and contributions to industry efforts around AI safety, Zero Trust architecture, and secure system design.Agency Collapse Publishing exists to research, publish, and license frameworks, books, and applied research intended to help practitioners reason clearly, act deliberately, and retain agency in an AI-accelerated world.These frameworks are designed to support education, applied practice, and responsible adoption across technical and organizational contexts.
