Description
Automation is transforming the way we work, with integrated systems leading to significant job losses across various industries. In his first volume of a new series, Bernard Stiegler argues that this crisis can be addressed by redefining our relationship between 'labour' and 'employment'.
Stiegler advocates for a decoupling of these concepts, with the ultimate goal of eradicating 'employment' altogether. Instead, he proposes alternative economic models where individuals are not only producers but also consumers, actively creating what they need. This radical approach engages with a range of thinkers, from Deleuze and Foucault to Bill Gates and Alan Greenspan.
Automatic Society will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities, as well as anyone concerned with the future of work. By exploring new economic models and challenging traditional notions of labour and employment, Stiegler offers a thought-provoking analysis of our rapidly changing world.
