The World That’s Coming

An honest, human and deeply practical perspective on how Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping work, education and everyday life.

Gabriel Fagúndez traces his own transformation, from Tacuarembó to Chicago, and turns that experience into a clear invitation to engage with the defining shift of our time.

A book about AI for real people

This is not a technical manual, and it is not empty hype. It is the chronicle of a personal and professional shift that opens urgent questions about work, education, judgment and the future.

This is not a technical book. It is an invitation to find your own voice in the face of the greatest transformation of our era.

Central ideas

  • The public conversation becomes poorer when AI is framed only as a threat.
  • Teaching people how to use the tool matters more than banning it.
  • Children are likely to become the first generation of AI natives.
  • Real adoption begins when AI moves from abstract topic to daily practice.
  • This transformation is not reserved for experts. It cuts across ages, professions and contexts.

This book is for you if…

  • You want to understand AI without reading a technical manual.
  • You feel curiosity, discomfort or urgency about what is changing.
  • You work, teach, lead or learn in a world that is already being reconfigured.
  • You are looking for a voice that is thoughtful and grounded rather than loud or exaggerated.

My Story

More than a full biography, this is the route that leads to the book: curiosity, technology, leadership and a very real discomfort with the way AI was being approached.

The book begins when selling AI is no longer enough, and the need to truly live it becomes unavoidable.

This section is not meant to be a full biography. It is the route that eventually pushed the book into existence: curiosity, technology, business, real questions and the moment when watching AI from the outside stopped being enough.

More than explaining a career, I wanted to show the thread connecting places, stages and decisions until the writing of The World That’s Coming.

Tacuarembó → Montevideo

From early curiosity about how things work to engineering school and a thesis on evolutionary algorithms.

Montevideo → Austin

From technical work into business and leadership while helping a company evolve toward Data & AI.

Austin → Chicago

Working with U.S. executives, adopting the tool for real and reaching the turning point that led to the book.

Trajectory

A selective view of two decades in technology, moving from technical work into leadership, business and digital transformation.

Managing Director & Partner

He now leads growth, strategic relationships and high-level conversations on data, AI and digital transformation from Chicago.

From engineering to leadership

His path combines technical depth, delivery experience, commercial strategy and trusted relationships with U.S. clients.

Twelve years inside one evolution

He experienced first-hand the transformation of a software consultancy into an organization recognized for its Data & AI focus.

Applied research

His thesis and published papers in optimization and evolutionary algorithms connect academic rigor with practical problem solving.
