Even as the robots gather on the near horizon this book argues we
have choices about the manner in which we greet them. A world
without work as we know it could be a good thing. The landscape of
work is changing right in front of us, from Uber, Airbnb and the
new share economy to automated vehicles, 3D printing and advanced
AI. The question isn't whether robots will take our jobs, but what
we will do when they do. The era of full-time work is coming to an
end and we have to stop holding out the false promise that at some
magical moment the jobs are going to reappear. So what does our
future in the brave new world of non-work look like? In this timely
and provocative book, Tim Dunlop argues that by embracing the
changes ahead we might even find ourselves better off. Workless
goes beyond the gadgetry and hype to examine the social and
political ramifications of work throughout history and into the
future. It argues we need to think big now, not wait until we're in
a dystopian world of mass unemployment and wealth held in the hands
of a minority.
