About the book

Javier’s latest work, Subscriptocracy, explores how the world has shifted from owning things to subscribing to them — and what that means for our digital future.

The book examines how giants like Netflix, Apple, and Adobe built an economy of recurring payments, and what this “age of subscriptions” says about power, control, and convenience in modern life.
