There is still time to change!

By 2032-33, the Parliamentary Budget Office projects that personal income tax alone will fund 54% of everything the Australian federal government spends. This book asks the question nobody in Canberra is modelling: what happens to that number once AI starts eating the jobs that pay it?

Written by a 75-year-old father translating his son's frontline AI research into plain English, this book traces a single argument from the tax office to your kitchen table: Australia funds Medicare, aged care, defence and schools overwhelmingly through tax on wages, and the AI capability curve now doubling every four months is arriving fastest in exactly the white-collar, services-heavy work that generates it.

This book is for the reader who doesn't need to understand how a language model works to understand what happens when the jobs that pay income tax start disappearing faster than any government forecast assumes - and who wants the actual numbers, not vibes.

Inside:

- How Australia's $833 billion federal budget actually gets funded, and why one tax base is carrying more of it every year
- A day-by-day account of the AI breakthroughs of early 2026, and what they mean for a $425 billion defence commitment built on a fiscal assumption nobody has stress-tested
- Three honestly-argued scenarios for how the next five years could go, from manageable to severe
- A mortgage-stress and household-finance walkthrough for families relying on two incomes
- What government, business and individual households can actually do about it, starting now

This is not a technology hype book, and it will not tell you AI is a passing fad or that everything will sort itself out. It's an argument, honestly caveated throughout, built from public data you can check yourself. It also includes six bonus chapters of hands-on AI-skills guidance for your own work, drawn from the co-author's professional practice - genuinely useful, and clearly separate from the book's core argument.
