Robots Are Coming. The Development of Technology and a Future Without Work

Will robots provide people with material abundance, surplus free time, quality medicine, and education, or will they turn our world into one of inequality and mass unemployment? Is it true that diligence and talent will no longer be the key... to life's achievements? Successful software developer and IT entrepreneur Martin Ford does not claim to have answers to all questions, but he convincingly demonstrates why modern technologies can be much more destructive to the labor market than past innovations. The author's goal is not to scare the reader, but to draw attention to these challenging topics. This engaging and informative book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the development of new technologies affects economic prospects, our children, and society as a whole.
