Automatic World

Will the onset of new technologies mean massive job losses across the world? Does AI present a threat or an opportunity? Is humanity approaching an era of new freedoms, where all manual work is automated, allowing creativity and new experiences to flourish. In this extraordinary and often mind-blowing new book, futurologist Keith Woolcock explores what the 21st century is likely to bring. Fiercely intelligent and tightly argued, he looks back at the history of ideas as a guide to what might be just round the corner, in a world where information is at the centre of everything.
