A Summary and Analysis of A World Without Work
Understand the benefits and challenges that await us in an increasingly automated world.
You’ve certainly heard all kinds of outlandish predictions about how technology will change the world. Our societies will never be the same again! We will all become redundant! An army of robots will take our jobs!
Optimists and pessimists agree that there needs to be a change of direction. But what should it look like?
These chapters will cut through the noise and give you a better understanding of what exactly automation is, what it’ll do to human societies, and, most importantly, how we can embrace it to build a better world.
You’ll draw on lessons from history and economics to learn the history of technological change, and you’ll also see a new path forward – a path toward a world where work isn’t necessary for everyone to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
In these insights, you’ll learn
- why we can’t know what the future holds;
- some ways to bridge the great divide; and
- that Homer wrote about AI – in a manner of speaking.
