Dang Trung Anh

I work on data and AI at Viettel. In the evenings I write The Last 10%, a novel about the part of work the machines still leave to us.

Cover of The Last 10%

A management novel, published one chapter a week. At a company that rents out AI agents, twelve people handle what the agents can’t, and slowly start asking what that last ten percent really is.

Each chapter puts a story next to the research behind it, from Toyota’s kaizen to psychological safety, and ends with a few questions to take back to your own work.

Now writing Chapter 10 · Japanese and Chinese editions in progress

Many seats, one company.

Over the years at Viettel I’ve sat in many different seats and worked across many parts of the business. Today my work is data and AI.

Changing seats taught me most of what I know about how people grow at work. It is also where most of what I write begins.
