Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford

AI is well on its way to making white collar jobs obsolete. Data-analysts, paralegals, writers and, most ironically, computer programmers are all on the chopping block. Without a radical reassessment of our economic and political structures, we stand at the precipice of mass unemployment and the implosion of the capitalist economy as we know it.

In The Rise of the Robots, Martin Ford systematically outlines the impact of AI and robotics, drawing on a wealth of economic data to illustrate the terrifying societal implications. From health and education to finance and technology, his warning is stark - all jobs, from doctors to electricians, are at risk of automation. The robots are at the gate and we must decide whether the future brings prosperity or catastrophe.
