'A path-breaking, thought-provoking and in-depth study of how new technology will transform the world of work' Gordon Brown

'Compelling... Should be required reading for any presidential candidate'New York Times

New technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. In the past, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. Yet inA World Without Work, Daniel Susskind shows why this time really is different. Advances in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of tasks - from diagnosing illnesses to drafting contracts - are increasingly within the reach of computers.The threat of technological unemployment is real.

So how can we all thrive in a world with less work?Susskind reminds us that technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: how to ensure everyone has enough to live on. The challenge will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, constrain the power of Big Tech, and provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the centre of our lives.In this visionary, pragmatic and ultimately hopeful book, Susskind shows us the way.

'Fascinating and tightly argued'Sunday Telegraph

'This isthebook to read on the future of work in the age of artificial intelligence. It is thoughtful and state-of-the-art on the economics of the issue, but its real strength is the way it goes beyond just the economics'Lawrence Summers, former Chief Economist of the World Bank

'A fascinating book about a vitally important topic. Elegant, original and compelling'Tim Harford, author ofThe Undercover Economist

Recenzii

Eloquent and humane,A World Without Workmoves the debate beyond the illusion that technology always creates more jobs than it destroys and provocatively explores the role of work in human life and what to do when that role evaporates.
Anexcellent and timelypiece of analysis ... Susskind combinesa mastery of global research with insightinto how government works.A book of immense importance that demands to be taken very seriouslyby No. 10, and by anyone who cares about the future of our country and world.
Apathbreaking, thought-provoking, and in-depth studyof how new technology will transform the world of work.
Afascinatingbook about avitally importanttopic - and he writes with such elegance that you don't even notice how much you're learning.Elegant, original and compelling.
Asuperb and sophisticatedcontribution to the debate over work in the age of artificial intelligence. Susskind approaches the debate with agreat command of the evidence and with excellent judgment. He takes on all of the major debates: whether new jobs will replace those that disappear, how the income distribution will be affected, and how individuals are likely to allocate their time in the future between work, leisure, study, and other activities. Never glib,consistently wise and well-informed, this is the book to read to understand how digital technologies and artificial intelligence in particular are reshaping the economy and labor market, and how we will live alongside increasingly smart machines.
Daniel Susskind has writtenan important book on an equally important topic: the future of work in an economy driven by the advances in artificial intelligence. His conclusion is that ultimately there will be less work, or at least less paid work. This will shake the foundations of our economy and our society. Our institutions will have to be transformed. It will be a daunting challenge.We have to start thinking hard about it now.
This is the book to read on the future of work in the age of artificial intelligence. It isthoughtful and state-of-the-art on the economicsof the issue, but its real strength is the way it goes beyond just the economics.A truly important contribution that deserves widespread consideration.
Eloquent and humane,A World Without Workmoves the debate beyond the illusion that technology always creates more jobs than it destroys and provocatively explores the role of work in human life and what to do when that role evaporates.
