Automation and Utopia: Human Flourishing in a World Without Work
Channel: John Danaher
Date: 2019-09-23

A rigorous case for techno-utopianism and a post-work future. 

Automation and Utopia argues that human obsolescence is imminent; that we are living through an era in which our activity is becoming less and less relevant to our well-being and to the fate of our planet; and that this trend toward increased obsolescence is likely to continue in the future. We must do our best to prepare ourselves and our societies for this reality. Far from being a cause for despair, this is in fact an opportunity for optimism. Harnessed in the right way, the technology that hastens our obsolescence can open us up to new utopian possibilities and enable heightened forms of human flourishing.
