Meigs paints a vivid picture of a future in which machines are capable of performing increasingly complex tasks, from manufacturing and transportation to customer service and even creative endeavors. He argues that this technological revolution will have a profound impact on our economy, our culture, and our very definition of what it means to be human.
The Jobless Future is not a book of doom and gloom, however. Meigs also explores the potential benefits of a jobless future, arguing that it could lead to a more equitable and sustainable society. He proposes a number of policy changes that could help us prepare for the coming job displacement, including a universal basic income and a guaranteed minimum income.
