INTERVIEW
8. We are entering a time of head-spinning, mind-bending upheaval.
WORK, AS WE KNOW IT, IS DYING.
Careers and offices: Over. The robots are marching in, taking !
more and more skilled jobs. To keep humans from becoming
totally obsolete, the government must intervene,
incentivizing companies to keep people on the payroll.
Otherwise, robots would job-eliminate them. For the class
of highly-trained elite workers, however, things have never
been better. Maneuvering from project to project, these free-
agents thrive. Employers, eager to secure their human talent, lavish
them with luxurious benefits and unprecedented flexibility. !
The gap between the Have’s and the Have-Nots has never been wider.
