Daniel Susskind's book, A World Without Work, argues that technological advancements will eventually displace human workers from their jobs. Susskind examines the history of technological unemployment, drawing comparisons between the displacement of horses by automobiles and the potential displacement of humans by artificial intelligence (AI). He contends that the growing capabilities of AI pose a significant threat to the traditional labor market, as machines become capable of performing an increasingly wide range of tasks that were once exclusively the domain of humans. Susskind explores the implications of this trend for the future of work, including the rise of inequality, the potential for a new form of "frictional technological unemployment", and the need for a new, larger role for government in managing the transition to a world with less paid work. He examines the role of Big Tech companies in shaping the economic and political landscape, and he considers the critical question of how individuals will find meaning and purpose in a world where work is no longer a central source of identity.
