| Zusammenfassung: | "This book provides an original insight into the way computers, robots and related technologies are reshaping our world and especially the world of work. Some will benefit from the changes; others will be victims. Few understand the magnitude of what is happening, or why it is happening, or how quickly it is happening." "The economics of this new world are revolutionary. Computer technology is cheap. People are expensive. They will be replaced by the new technologies over the coming decades. Do our policy makers understand what is happening? Examples taken from both sides of the Atlantic point to the same dangers that face us." "Great opportunities exist within this turmoil. With computers and robots doing most of the work, our world has the potential to become immeasurably richer. It is up to us to decide who will benefit. This book is designed to clarify the issues involved. It is written in an easy-to-read style. It will appeal to all business leaders and other students of work and technology who wish to understand some of the basic dynamics of the age."--BOOK JACKET. |
