In the early days of 2026, a Mallorcan software engineer named Antoni Artigues offered the reading public something rarer than a technical manual or a policy brief: a collection of stories designed to make the familiar feel dangerous. His book, Los Tentáculos de la IA, arrives at the precise moment when generative AI has ceased to be a curiosity and become a condition of daily life, asking not whether these tools are useful, but what we quietly surrender when we welcome them in.
