Sub-series — 2026 analysis + 2075 fictions

Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche

The pitch

Two titles, one hybrid format. Each volume blends a contemporary essay anchored in 2026 — Orange, WAYMA, Ningbo, ChatGPT, the RAPID© method — with two 2075 fictions, one dystopia and one utopia on the same theme. Co-written with Pascal Roche, co-founder of Apps Velocity. A sub-series designed as an editorial laboratory: analysis to understand the present, fiction to feel the future.

Table of contents

  1. 01 Volume 1 — Entrepreneurship in the AI era (6 July 2026)
  2. 02 Spin-off — Cinema Special (7 September 2026)

    The AI Chronicles: Entrepreneurship in the AI era

    Volume 1 — the augmented entrepreneur

    The first volume of the Chronicles. Patrick de Carvalho and Pascal Roche, co-founders of Apps Velocity, tell what AI is doing to entrepreneurship — for real, in 2026, in French SMEs and mid-market companies. Case studies Orange, WAYMA, Ningbo. ChatGPT anecdotes. RAPID© framework. Then two 2075 fictions: the dystopia of an executive replaced by their agent; the utopia of an executive who has learned to delegate what must be delegated, and to keep what must not be delegated.

    The AI Chronicles — Cinema Special

    Spin-off — sixty years of AI cinema, re-read

    The cinema spin-off of the AI Chronicles. Twenty films, sixty years of imagination, and one simple question: what did filmmakers get right, miss, or invent? From 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Creator, each long-form essay (3,500-5,000 words) maps a film like one maps a territory. Three meta-lessons close the volume: prophecies fulfilled, blind spots, disproportionate fears. A quick-access page exists at /cinema.
