Marcus Hutter argues AGI could make a job-less future desirable and likely
mhutter42 · x · 2026-07-29
Marcus Hutter says his new book argues that a job-less future in the age of AGI is not only possible, but desirable, affordable, and likely.
- He frames the debate as one where both sides often miss the point: either assuming new jobs will simply appear or imagining a mass-unemployment dystopia.
- The book is titled Job-Less Utopia: Macroeconomics in the Age of AGI.
- He offers the PDF for free, with hard-cover copies also available.
- Readers can get a free physical copy by leaving a proper review on Amazon or DGR.
