Description
The future of work may be automated. But what if this is an opportunity to create a better world? John Danaher argues that the rise of automating technologies presents a chance for humanity to flourish in new and unexpected ways. In a world where machines can perform many tasks, humans are free to focus on more creative and fulfilling pursuits. This could lead to a society where people have more time to invent, play, and explore virtual realities, allowing them to achieve idealized forms of human flourishing. Danaher makes the case for embracing this new existence, where technology provides both the means and the motive to build a better future.
