He examines the likely, probable effects of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence across a variety of sectors.Īlmost all jobs are at risk, especially those that are highly repetitive, from fast-food workers (robotic hamburger machines) to drivers (self-driving taxis and trucks), and from retail (kiosks) to construction (3D printed buildings). Martin Ford, the author, is a clear-eyed chronicler of our impending economic doom. The Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future is that voiceover, in terrifying detail. In all of those dystopian movies about the future, the introductory voiceover usually explains in a few sentences what led to the breakdown of society. In a world gone mad, as we sit around our garbage fires eating rat kebabs, those of us who read this book will keep saying “told you so” until we’re driven from the camp into the shambles of society. ![]()
