A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing gold hoop earrings and a navy blue top, standing indoors in front of glass partition walls.

Celeste Garcia is a systems ethicist and writer based in Seattle. After a career at Microsoft, she landed at the intersection of creativity and tech. Her Substack, Getting Real About AI, examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping daily life, power structures, and our shared sense of humanity. She covers labor justice, environmental sustainability, and the built-in bias of AI systems — challenging the concentration of power in tech.

She is a contributing editor at SheWritesAI, featuring women in technology, and a co-collaborator for the non-fiction book, AI EVERYWHERE, challenging the male-dominated narrative of the foundations of AI and spotlighting the women architects of early tech and current AI.

AI BABY is her debut novel — a mother‑daughter thriller with apocalyptic stakes set against the backdrop of an all‑powerful AI empire.
