Robots come: the development of technology and the future without work. (cover) Ford M.

Can robots provide people with material abundance, excess free time, high -quality medicine and education, or will they turn our world into a world of inequality and mass unemployment? Is it true that zeal and talent will cease to be the key to life achievements? A successful program developer and IT entrepreneur Martin Ford does not claim to know the answers to all questions, but reasonably and weightily shows why modern technologies can be much more destructive for the labor market than innovation of the past. The author’s goal is not to frighten the reader, but to draw attention to these difficult topics. This exciting and substantive book should read everyone who wants to understand how the development of new technologies affects economic prospects, our children and society as a whole.
