The storm has arrived. Are you ready for what comes next? In this groundbreaking exploration of humanity's imminent transformation, tech visionary David Vivancos reveals how artificial intelligence is not just changing our tools—it's reshaping the very foundation of human civilization. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience building AI systems, Vivancos presents a stark reality: we stand at the threshold of creating minds that will surpass our own, and the choice isn't whether to accept this future, but how to shape it. ARTIFICRACY goes beyond speculation to provide practical blueprints for: The end of human labor and the economics of abundance - Legal frameworks for conscious AI entities - Governance systems where humans and artificial beings collaborate as equals - Educational models preparing both species for coexistence - The psychological journey from productivity-based identity to purpose-driven existence This isn't science fiction—it's an engineer's manual for the most profound transition in human history. While others debate if AI will achieve consciousness, Vivancos shows how pioneering communities will be building the first human-AI hybrid societies. Through three powerful sections—Storm, Reckoning, and Becoming—readers journey from recognizing our current vulnerabilities through designing new systems to implementing the actual frameworks of tomorrow's civilization. Whether you're a tech professional, policy maker, educator, or simply someone who senses the magnitude of approaching change, this book provides the roadmap for navigating humanity's graduation from solitary intelligence to conscious partnership with the minds we've created. The future belongs to those bold enough to engineer it. The blueprints are in your hands. "Every golden age begins with someone realizing that the impossible has become inevitable." —David Vivancos "David is an exceptional cartographer of this possible journey. His task is arduous because he tries to show us how sensible it is to foster a new “us” that may even be helped or guided by artificial intelligences and knowledge that surpass us. The journey entails infinite humility, risk acceptance, and collective responsibility. David does not need to force or cling to a partisan or interested vision, nor to sell propaganda. He does it from the very humanism that has allowed us to get this far—as Pinker would say, with the tools of progress, science, technology, and reason. For all these reasons, his work has a double and highly praiseworthy value: pure knowledge, and the place from which it is shared. This book—his Fifth Sun—is a representative of the evolution of the journey, not only his personal one but that of all of us. It is good that, through this reading, we become much more aware of it." -Dr José Sanchez
