Summary
Details

ABUNDANCE IS COMING. THE QUESTION IS WHO IT'S COMING FOR.

Companies are cutting workforces by 40% while growing revenue. Developers are shipping products without writing a single line of code. Entire industries are being rebuilt around what a small team with AI can produce.

This is not a future scenario. This is 2026.

Artificial intelligence is not just automating tasks. It is reshaping the economic foundations of society. Jobs that took years to master are now done in minutes. Productivity is accelerating beyond the limits of human labor. And the institutions built on the assumption that people must produce value to earn a living are beginning to crack.

What happens to work when machines do it better? What happens to wealth when productivity no longer depends on human effort? And what happens to us, to our identity, our purpose, our sense of meaning, when the activity that defined adulthood for centuries is no longer required?

For centuries, work has been the organizing principle of human life. AI may be the first technology capable of breaking that link. The connection between labor and income, once unquestioned, may soon be optional.

In The Age of Abundance, Leandro Maya draws on a career spanning Apple, Meta, and Circle to map what comes next. Not through speculation, but by connecting the patterns already visible in boardrooms, earnings reports, and workforce decisions happening right now.

This book examines:

How AI is collapsing the cost of production across industries What happens when entry-level roles disappear Why smaller teams are outperforming larger ones How wealth creation is shifting from labor to technology ownership Why the question of purpose is becoming urgent, not philosophical

The Age of Abundance is not a warning. It is a roadmap.

For professionals rethinking their careers, leaders navigating workforce transformation, and anyone trying to understand the most significant economic shift of our lifetime, this book offers clarity, context, and a framework for what comes next.

Abundance is not a prediction. It is a structural shift. The transition has already begun.
