THE 2036 WEALTH REVOLUTION: 12 Trillion-Dollar Industries That Will Create the Next Generation of Millionaires

The 2036 Wealth Revolution

12 Trillion-Dollar Industries That Will Create the Next Generation of Millionaires

Between 2012 and 2026, something happened that broke the previous 200 years of economic logic.

The cost of training a state-of-the-art AI system fell by 99.999%.

Not 50%. Not 90%. Not even 99%.

99.999%.

This is the steepest cost-collapse curve in human history. Steeper than computing. Steeper than genome sequencing. Steeper than solar panels.

And almost nobody noticed what it really meant.

Here's what it meant:

When training AI cost $500,000 in 2012, only Google could play.
When it cost $5,000 in 2024, you could play.

When creativity becomes a commodity, when intelligence becomes multiplicative, when biology becomes programmable, when energy becomes near-free...

The entire architecture of wealth creation rewrites itself.

And we're standing at year zero of that rewrite.

I'm Fahri Karakas.

Associate Professor at University of East Anglia. An academic who has written 2,390 Medium articles and created 1,400 YouTube videos while trying to figure out what the hell was happening to the world.

I teach business and leadership to students who will enter a job market that doesn't exist yet.

Which means I've spent the last 5 years doing something most professors don't do:

I stopped theorizing about the future and started building in it.

80 cryptocurrency positions. (Yes, 80. I have a problem.)
Dozens of failed digital products.
Hundreds of experiments in AI-augmented creation.
Thousands of hours tracking industries that don't have names yet.

Because I'm pathologically curious and constitutionally incapable of focusing on one thing.

Which—it turns out—is exactly the cognitive profile the next decade rewards.

What I Discovered (And Why It Kept Me Up at Night)

While everyone was arguing about whether AI would "take our jobs," I noticed something else:

12 entirely new trillion-dollar industries were forming simultaneously.

Industries where:

• The rules haven't been written
• The winners haven't been chosen
• The barriers to entry are still low
• Individual creators can compete with institutions
• Early positioning creates 10-100x advantages

I'm talking about:

Longevity becoming optional (the first 150-year-old is already alive)
Asteroid mining collapsing scarcity (the first $8 trillion shockwave)
Synthetic beings becoming celebrities (virtual influencers earning more than humans)
Neuro-computing making brains upgradeable (your mind as a platform)
Quantum commerce rewriting risk (probabilistic markets, quantum-secure identity)
Energy becoming near-infinite (fusion hitting commercial viability)
Biology becoming programmable (cells as factories, organs on demand)

And 5 others that are equally radical.

These are 12 industries with active venture funding, working prototypes, government backing, and accelerating technical proof.

The infrastructure is being built right now.

The wealth transfer is beginning right now.

The window for early positioning is open right now.

But here's the thing about exponential change:

By the time it's obvious, it's too late.

The best returns go to people who moved 18-36 months before consensus formed.

The people who bought Bitcoin at $200, not $20,000.
The people who learned AI in 2021, not 2024.
The people who started creating content in 2015, not 2022.

The people who positioned themselves before the curve bent.

The Question That Haunted Me

I kept asking my students:

"If you could see 10 years into the future for just 5 minutes, what would you want to know?"

The answers were always the same:

• Which industries to enter
• Which skills to build
• Where to invest (even small amounts)
• What to create before everyone else does
• How to stay relevant when everything changes

And then I realized:

I was already tracking all of this.

Six months of research notes. 120+ sources. Patterns across biology, physics, computing, economics, culture. The intersections where industries collide and new wealth appears.

But it was scattered. Fragmented. Locked in my brain and 400 browser tabs.

So I did what I teach my students to do:

I shipped before I was ready.

I spent 6 months turning chaos into architecture.
I built frameworks. I mapped the convergences.
I created move-sets for three different types of people: investors, builders, and creators.

And I wrote it all down as a field manual for people who want to position themselves before 2036 arrives.

What This Book Actually Is

This isn't a "future trends" book.
This isn't a "what if" book.
This isn't a book written by a futurist who's never built anything.

This is a wealth positioning map for the most important economic inflection point in modern history.

195 pages.
12 industries.
36 specific move-sets.
Dozens of investment frameworks.
Hundreds of builder opportunities.

Each chapter follows the same structure:

The Inflection Moment → What changed that made this industry inevitable
The Proof Curve → The data that shows it's already happening
The New Reality → What daily life looks like once this industry matures
The Industry Architecture → How the value chain actually works
Wealth Moves → Specific investment strategies (even with small capital)
Builder Moves → One-person empire opportunities
Creator Moves → Content and community plays
Early Signals → What to watch to time your entry

And here's what makes this different from every other future-of-work book:

I'm documenting my own experiments while writing it.

The crypto positions I'm holding (and the ones I'm exiting).
The industries I'm betting on with actual money.
The content experiments I'm running in real-time.
The students I'm teaching who are implementing these frameworks.

This book was written using the exact AI-collaboration model I describe in Chapter 9.

Because I practice what I teach.

And what I teach is this:

The future belongs to people who build momentum in multiple exponential spaces before consensus forms.

Who This Book Is For

This is for the people who feel it.

The ones who sense the ground shifting but can't quite name what's happening.

The ones who are restless with the old models.
The ones who are curious about industries they don't understand yet.
The ones who want to build something that compounds over 10 years.

You might be:

The exhausted employee who knows their industry is dying but doesn't know where to pivot
The solopreneur trying to figure out which skills to stack for the 2030s
The investor looking for asymmetric bets with 10-100x potential
The student who wants to enter industries that don't exist yet
The creator searching for topics that won't be saturated in 6 months
The parent trying to prepare your kids for a world you can't quite imagine

Or you might just be pathologically curious like me.

Someone who collects mental models. Who reads across disciplines. Who sees patterns. Who wants to understand the geometry of what's coming.

This book is for people who would rather be early and wrong than late and safe.

Because in exponential times, "safe" is the riskiest position of all.

What You're Actually Getting

12 deep-dive chapters on industries most people won't understand until 2028-2030

36 specific move-sets broken down by your role (investor/builder/creator)

The interconnection map showing how all 12 industries feed into each other

The 90-Hour Action Protocol (your first sprint into one frontier)

My thinking and experiments (what I'm excited and learning about, as well as my top ideas for the future)

The Future Builder's Canon (the 25 books that will upgrade your pattern-recognition)

Access to the Builder Community (connect with others positioning for 2036)

But here's what you're really getting:

A new way of seeing the world.

Once you read this book, you won't be able to unsee the patterns.

You'll start noticing:

• Which industries are about to deflate (and which are about to explode)
• Where the talent is quietly moving
• What the smartest capital is betting on
• Where the infrastructure is being built
• Which convergences create new wealth categories

You'll develop what I call "inflection point vision"—the ability to see 18-36 months ahead of consensus.

And in exponential times, that's the only edge that matters.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Timing

Here's what I learned from tracking 80 different crypto positions (yes, I'm still doing it):

There's always a moment—usually 6-18 months before mainstream adoption—when something goes from "interesting" to "obvious."

Bitcoin in 2016. Nobody cared.
Bitcoin in 2017. Everyone cared. Price: 10x higher.

AI tools in 2021. Nerds only.
AI tools in 2023. Your mom's using ChatGPT. The edge: gone.

Remote work in 2019. "That's not real work."
Remote work in 2021. Every company hiring globally. The arbitrage: closed.

The pattern is always the same:

Phase 1: Strange, uncertain, early (← massive opportunity)
Phase 2: Emerging, proven, exciting (← decent opportunity)
Phase 3: Obvious, crowded, commoditized (← no opportunity)

Right now, in December 2025, we're at the end of Phase 1 for all 12 industries in this book.

The infrastructure is being built. The venture money is flowing. The technical proofs are landing.

But cultural consensus hasn't formed yet.

Which means you're reading this at the exact moment when positioning matters most.

Why I'm Pricing It Like This (And Why It Won't Last)

I'm not a pricing expert. I'm a professor who accidentally became a builder.

But here's what I know about asymmetric value:

Information that changes your 10-year trajectory is worth infinitely more than $16.

If this book helps you:

• Enter one industry 18 months early
• Make one correct investment bet
• Build one asset that compounds
• Avoid one dying industry
• Position your kids for the right skills

...then the ROI is 100x-1000x minimum.

But I'm not charging $1,000. Or even $100.

I'm charging $16 for the first 100 copies.

Why?

Because I want this in the hands of builders who will actually use it.

I want creators who will reference it in their content.
I want students who will test the frameworks in real projects.
I want investors who will share what they're seeing in the markets.
I want solopreneurs who will document their experiments publicly.

I want to build a community of early movers who become proof that these frameworks work.

Here's the pricing structure:

FIRST 100 COPIES: $16
(You're reading this in the first 100 window)

COPIES 101-499: $29
(Price increases after first 100 sell)

AFTER 500 COPIES: $49
(Standard price once social proof is established)

Current copies sold: [51]
Copies remaining at $16: [49]

I'm not doing this to create false urgency.

I'm doing this because early adopters should get early-adopter pricing.

If you're reading this before 100 people have bought it, you're early by definition.

And I believe early deserves a reward.

What Happens If You Don't Read This?

Nothing dramatic. Your life continues.

But here's what you'll miss:

You'll miss the 18-month positioning window where entering an industry before consensus forms gives you a 10x advantage.

You'll miss the frameworks that help you see which exponential curves are about to bend (and which are overhyped noise).

You'll miss the move-sets that show you exactly what to do—whether you have $500 or $50,000, whether you're 22 or 52.

You'll miss the interconnections—the moments where two industries collide and create entirely new wealth categories.

You'll miss the mental models that upgrade how you think about time, capital, skills, and leverage.

And in 2028, when one of these industries goes mainstream, you'll have that moment.

That moment where you think:

"I remember reading about this 3 years ago. I should have..."

I've had that moment 14 times in my life.

Bitcoin at $200. "Too weird."
AI tools in 2021. "Not ready yet."
Creator economy in 2017. "Saturated already."

Every time I was wrong, it cost me years of positioning.

This book is my attempt to save you from those moments.

What Makes This Different From Every Other Future Book?

Most future books are written by:

• Futurists who study trends but don't build businesses
• Academics who research innovation but don't practice it
• Consultants who advise on change but don't live through it
• Journalists who interview builders but aren't builders themselves

This book is written by someone who:

✓ Teaches 200 business students while running experiments in public
✓ Created 2,300+ Medium articles testing ideas in real-time
✓ Holds actual positions in the industries being described
✓ Failed at 12+ digital products before figuring out what works
✓ Uses AI collaboration daily (and admits it transparently)
✓ Documents both successes AND failures publicly
✓ Practices effectuation, not just teaches it

The difference?

Most future books tell you what might happen.

This book tells you what's already happening—and gives you the frameworks to position yourself inside it.

This is more than a transaction. It's an open invitation.

An invitation to join the small group of people who are positioning themselves for 2036 while everyone else is optimizing for 2026.

The Risk-Reversal Promise

Here's my guarantee:

Read the first 3 chapters.

If you don't have at least one "holy shit, I need to act on this" moment, email me.

I'll refund you immediately. No questions. No friction.

Why?

Because if this book doesn't shift how you see the next decade, I've failed.

And I'd rather you spend that $16 on something that does shift your perspective.

But here's what I actually think will happen:

You'll read Chapter 1 on longevity and realize your entire financial planning model is based on a 75-year life when you might live to 120.

You'll read Chapter 4 on synthetic beings and realize your kids are growing up in a world where digital celebrities are more influential than physical ones.

You'll read Chapter 9 on AI symbiosis and realize you're already living in the future I'm describing—you just didn't have the frameworks to see it.

And then you'll do what I did:

You'll start building.

What I Want You To Do Next

I want you to make a bet on yourself.

Not a financial bet. A cognitive bet.

A bet that you're capable of seeing patterns 18 months before consensus.
A bet that you can position yourself in emerging industries before they're obvious.
A bet that your curiosity is valuable, not just your credentials.

This book is the map.

But you're the one who has to walk the territory.

You have two options:

Option 1: Close this page. Continue with your current trajectory. Hope that the industries you're in stay relevant for the next 10 years.

Option 2: Invest $16 in a field manual that might change how you think about wealth, time, work, and leverage for the next decade.

If you're still reading, you already know which option makes sense.

Your future self—the one living in 2036—is watching this moment.

Watching to see if you'll move when the information was available but the consensus hadn't formed yet.

Or if you'll wait until it's safe, obvious, and crowded.

The clock is ticking open.

100 copies at $16.

Then the price increases.

Then the window closes.

Then 2036 arrives.

And you'll either be positioned for it, or trying to catch up to it.

P.S. — A Personal Note From Fahri

I'm publishing this on December 12, 2025—not because it's perfect, but because perfect is the enemy of early.

I'm a professor who became a builder by accident. By writing 2,300 articles nobody asked for. By creating 1,400 videos documenting experiments. By holding 80 crypto positions I probably shouldn't.

I'm scattered. I'm curious. I'm pathologically incapable of focusing on one thing.

And that turned out to be the exact training required for the next decade.

Because the 2030s won't reward specialists who went deep in one dying industry.

They'll reward synthesizers who can see patterns across twelve emerging industries.

If you're still reading, you're probably one of those people.

The ones who can't help but wonder.
The ones who collect mental models like other people collect stamps.
The ones who feel the pull of the future even when it's inconvenient.

This book is my handshake across time.

From someone in the trenches of 2025, trying to make sense of what's coming, to someone like you who's willing to position themselves before certainty arrives.

Thank you for reading this far.

Now go build something that makes your 2036 self proud.
