La hora de los depredadores

The apparent political stability of recent decades is a thing of the past—a period that was, in fact, an anomaly. In a world where AI has spiraled out of control, respect for institutions and rights has become irrelevant to autocrats and tech moguls; these new leaders shape reality to their liking through brute force, deception, and chaotic disruption. Clearly, the age of the predators has arrived. Giuliano da Empoli, a writer and political advisor, has spent years moving within the highest echelons of international politics, witnessing the rise of the forces dismantling the global order. In this essay, he takes the reader on a journey—at once fascinating and terrifying—through the new geopolitical epicenters, from New York to Buenos Aires and Saudi Arabia, and from top-secret meetings to violent power struggles.
