A decorated Gulf War-era Air Force veteran has released an ambitious four-book series that spans artificial intelligence, visual communications history, gambling strategy, and family travel experiences. John Copeland, who holds an MBA and multiple AI certifications, has published the Through My Lens Book Series in multiple formats including eBook, softcover, and hardcover editions.
The series comprises four distinct volumes: Artificial Intelligence, The History of Visual Communications, The History of Gambling and Strategy Guide, and the Copeland Family Travel Guide. In an unusual creative partnership, Copeland credits his AI assistant Lexi as co-author on all four books, while his father shares co-authorship credit on The History of Gambling volume.
Copeland brings extensive professional experience to his writing endeavors. Currently focused on developing experiential environments infused with artificial intelligence for Fortune 500 companies, museums, and universities worldwide, he also maintains active leadership roles in the nonprofit sector. He serves on the Board of Directors for two nonprofit organizations and participates on the Diversity Council for AVIXA, a trade association for the audiovisual industry.
The author’s military background and technical expertise inform his diverse literary output. Beyond the nonfiction Through My Lens series, Copeland has also authored a fiction novel titled The Adventures of Lucky Lewis, which draws loosely from both his own military service and that of his father.
The publication of this comprehensive book series represents a significant achievement in combining technical knowledge with accessible writing across multiple subject areas. By offering readers insights into cutting-edge technology alongside historical perspectives and practical guides, Copeland demonstrates the breadth of expertise gained through his multifaceted career in technology, military service, and organizational leadership.
