Summary:Silicon Valley titans, politicians, techno-futurists, and social critics have united in arguing that we are on the cusp of an era of rapid technological automation, heralding the end of work as we know it. Benanav argues that these promises have not been fulfilled. Other topics we discuss include the purpose of these advanced technologies and a universal basic income.
