THE NEXT CIVILIZATION ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, ABUNDANCE, AND THE NEW HUMANITY

The Next Civilization offers a comprehensive and forward-looking analysis of how human society is being transformed by the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, automation, quantum computing, and new energy paradigms. The book examines how these technologies are reshaping economic structures, labor relations, systems of governance, urban organization, health, education, culture, and the very meaning of human existence. Grounded in historical and conceptual foundations, the work explores the coexistence between humans and intelligent machines, proposing social, economic, and institutional models oriented toward productive abundance, the reduction of structural inequality, and the preservation of human dignity. It addresses themes such as universal basic income, taxation of automated production, algorithmic governance of the state, AI-assisted justice, extended longevity, the reorganization of families, and emerging forms of work and cultural expression. The book also analyzes technological, financial, and systemic risks, proposing frameworks for governance, applied ethics, and adaptive risk management. Through an interdisciplinary approach that blends sociology, political economy, technology, and social philosophy, it presents plausible scenarios for the transition toward and consolidation of a new hybrid civilization. Written for readers interested in the future of society, technology, and social transformation, The Next Civilization contributes to the contemporary debate on how humanity can guide technological progress in a conscious, ethical, and sustainable way.
