Read it

One may agree or disagree with the authors views, but certainly this book is essential reading for thriving and living a happy life in the coming years

An ideologue with a pretence of balance

I’ve read a few books on this topic but unfortunately this one is one of the weaker ones. The author clearly has a prefixed view that automation and technology is generally bad because it causes people to lose jobs. He confronts arguments such as previous waves of technology creating more jobs than were lost with arguments such as, yes, but it was hard for some people. My question back to him would be, should we have not had the Industrial Revolution because it was hard on some groups, and instead we could just be farmers like most of history? He doesn't weigh the huge benefits of technology with its costs ina rational way, instead focusing on temporary negatives, anecdotes and in his own words ‘gut feeling’. If you are already a techno pessimist and you want an unsophisticated shopping list of points that agree with you, this book is for you. If you want to learn something about this subject, look elsewhere. Rise of the Robots was a far better book, for instance.
