New Book Explores a Desirable 'Job-Less' Future in the AGI Era
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-30
Countering the jarring public and professional discourse on AGI's impact on jobs—which typically pits 'new jobs will emerge' against 'mass unemployment dystopia'—the author argues both sides miss the point.
The author's new book posits that a 'Job-Less' future is not only highly probable but also desirable and affordable. It develops this case along thirteen core theses, aiming to redefine human existence and economic models in a highly automated society.
