This book explains why quantum computing is no longer a future possibility, but a present strategic reality-and why society is at risk of being unprepared for its consequences. Rather than focusing on equations or hype, it shows how quantum computing, combined with AI and automation, is creating an era of accelerated change that reshapes power, decision-making, and institutional stability. The book clarifies what quantum can actually do, where its limits are, and why hybrid systems-not quantum alone-will define the real-world impact. Beyond technology, it explores the human side of this transition: psychological resilience, governance lag, economic asymmetry, and the danger of deploying powerful tools without aligned goals. Written for leaders, policymakers, strategists, and curious readers, this book argues one central point: technological inevitability does not equal societal readiness. The future is already forming. This book helps readers understand the moment when preparation was still possible-and what to do before hindsight replaces choice.
