Three-Year Leap (2026–2028)—that will redefine the structure of work, capital, and society. This book is a field guide to that leap. For decades, AI was a computational assistant, requiring explicit instruction for every task. By 2026, two concurrent developments converge to shatter that paradigm: the emergence of truly Agentic AI and the democratization enabled by Small Language Models (SLMs).
