HOMO ARTIS: A Manifesto for Creation in the Age of AI
by Marco Palou — Palou Press — September 15, 2026

DESCRIPTION (150 words)
What happens to us when machines can do the thinking?

For most of history we called ourselves Homo sapiens — the species defined by reason. But reasoning is now the work the machine does best. HOMO ARTIS is the answer to what comes next: we are creators. We always were. And creation — not calculation — is how we stay human.

A memoir-driven manifesto in twenty-nine chapters, HOMO ARTIS opens with the near-fatal medical crisis that remade its author, lays out the working practices of a prolific creative life — the Cathedral Method, Presencing, Breaking Context — and widens to what a pro-human future could look like, ending with a Speech to Humanity written to be performed aloud.

This is not a survival guide to the age of AI. It is an invitation to build what comes next.

"We aren't thinking beings who sometimes create. We're creating beings who sometimes think."

THE ONE-LINER
A memoir-driven manifesto arguing that as machines master thinking, creation is how we stay human.
