Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future by Martin Ford
4.0
The book gives a good insight into the state of Robots and their applications across various Industries today. He gives us uses in Healthcare, Education and Accounts which are considered traditional people industries. The main point he is trying to make is that we would be seeing a large number of job losses across various industries and the solution he offers is that we should look at a minimum income program.
The book was more economics than science fiction (except the singularity chapter) and gives a good introduction to people about what to expect in the next couple of years. However he should have spent more time telling how the jobs would adapt and people and technology would work together.
Overall a decent weekend read.
