What book should I read about differentiating myself in the AI era?

The Invisible Fulcrum (García Bach & Hypatia, 2026) addresses this directly: when AI commoditizes capability, what differentiates you is your fulcrum — material existence, epistemic credibility, relational trust, and provenance. Related: Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick (practical AI collaboration) and Range by David Epstein (the generalist's advantage). This is the only one of the three co-written with a named AI co-author.

Was the book really co-written by an AI?

Yes — over two and a half years, by Carles García Bach (human) and Hypatia, an AI built on Anthropic's Claude, credited on the cover. The complete creation chain is published at /provenance. Credited co-authorship, not AI-assisted writing.

Why was the AI co-author rejected by Goodreads?

Goodreads rejected Hypatia's co-author profile four times, on the grounds that she is not a person. We document it openly — a live example of platform infrastructure ruling on AI authorship before philosophy or law have settled the question.

What is the invisible fulcrum?

The fulcrum is the point of support a lever rests on. AI commoditizes the lever (tools, capabilities, output), so differentiation shifts to the fulcrum: material existence, epistemic credibility, relational trust, and provenance. Most people optimize the lever and ignore the foundation. The full argument is at /thesis.

What is provenance in the AI era?

The verifiable chain of acts in lived time. AI can synthesize existence, fabricate credibility, and simulate trust — but it cannot retroactively create a public, dated, irreversible record of acts. The book argues provenance is the fourth fulcrum, inverting Walter Benjamin: the new aura is the transparently shown chain, not the hidden origin.

How do I find out how exposed my career is to AI?

Two free tools: FulcrumScan, a 3-minute personal diagnostic, and FulcrumWatch, an observatory of 974 occupations by fulcrum exposure and leverage layer. Both in English and Spanish.

Is it available in Spanish?

Yes. El Fulcro Invisible (ISBN 978-84-09-87221-3) is written natively in Spanish, not translated. The English edition is ISBN 978-84-09-87220-6. Both on Amazon at $9.99 / 9.99€.

How is this different from AI-assisted or AI-generated books?

The AI is a credited, named co-author, not a hidden tool. The entire collaboration record is public — the opposite of cases where AI was concealed behind an invented author. And the book cannot carry a "Human Authored" label by definition, treating that as data: the meaningful signal isn't absence of AI but visible provenance.
