The launch of Think Digital Rewired for the AI Age wasn’t just another book event; it felt like a clear signal that Sri Lanka is ready to move forward.
Held on 3 February 2026 at Colombo Port City, the evening brought together a lively mix of industry leaders, students, educators, and entrepreneurs.
What made it special was the kind of crowd it attracted. This wasn’t a room full of “AI experts” talking to each other. It was a real cross-section of people, from banking and law to development and ICT, alongside young students seeing AI in action for the first time. Different industries, different age groups, and different perspectives, all in one place.
And that fits the book itself. Think Digital: Rewired for the AI Age isn’t a complicated tech guide. It’s a practical, easy-to-follow companion for anyone trying to stay relevant as the world changes fast and AI becomes part of everyday work.
The conversations during the event made one thing clear: AI isn’t something we’ll deal with later. It’s already here. The people who learn how to use it well, instead of fearing it, will be the ones who grow.
A launch that brought everyone into the same conversation
Colombo Port City turned into a space where experienced professionals and curious students could learn from each other. That kind of mix doesn’t happen often, and it gave the event a real sense of energy.
It also highlighted something important: AI isn’t only for tech companies. It matters for everyone, business leaders, educators, public sector teams, and anyone who wants to work smarter.
Different voices added depth to the discussion:
- Banking and legal leaders shared real concerns around rules and responsibility
- ICT professionals talked about how AI can be adopted locally
- Startup founders and creators brought a fresh, fast-moving perspective
- Students asked bold questions about ethics, learning, and the future
The big message: AI won’t replace you, but someone using AI might
One idea kept coming up again and again: it’s not AI vs people, it’s people with AI. The book encourages readers to focus on how AI can support human thinking and decision-making, rather than replacing it.
Instead of fear, the message is simple: stay curious, stay open, and learn how to use these tools in a useful way.
The book pushes readers to:
- Improve how they think and decide with better information
- Build smarter ways of working, instead of doing everything manually
- Use AI for ideas and insights, not just speed
- Keep learning, because the world won’t slow down
Live demos that made it feel real
One of the biggest highlights of the evening was the live AI demonstrations. People saw real tools generating content, analysing information, and showing what AI can do today, not in five years.
The reaction in the room was a mix of amazement and urgency: “This is powerful… and we probably should be using it already.”
The demos included examples like:
- Chatbots supporting customer service
- Tools helping with content and marketing work
- Learning tools that adjust to a student’s pace
- Audience members testing outputs and asking sharp questions
Moving from learning to doing
The launch also opened the door to something practical: AI transformation coaching. The book’s author, Logan Nathan, has been helping people and teams actually apply AI in their work, with support, guidance, and real examples.
It’s meant to keep things simple and useful, not complicated.
That support includes:
- Coaching for leaders and teams
- Practical use cases for different industries
- Clear adoption planning for local organisations
- Learning through real tools, not just theory
Why this book matters right now
AI is becoming part of daily life, in business, education, and how we work. That’s why a clear, simple guide matters. Think Digital Rewired for the AI Age helps readers understand what’s happening, what it means, and how to respond without feeling overwhelmed.
It’s not just about knowing AI exists. It’s about learning how to use it confidently and leading change instead of reacting to it.
