Replacement — Book Cover
Coming 2026

A man who replaced 40 engineers, a team of analysts, a trading floor, a security operations center, and a private school teacher — with thirteen AI agents running 24/7 for $200 a day — tells you exactly what this means for your career, your kids, and your country.

Nicolas built AI platforms deployed across the US military. Sold Ask Sage for $250M. Now runs 13 AI agents personally for $200/day replacing $10M+/year of human talent. He's also a father of three daughters — and for the first time in 41 years, he's scared about their future.

Replacement isn't a book about what AI might do someday. It's about what already happened — told through four threads: the immigrant who coded his way out of Marseille, the builder who started 13 companies, the Pentagon insider who watched China pull ahead, and the father who can't sleep because of what it all means for his three daughters.

More teasers every two weeks. Stay tuned.
