In the past, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. Yet in \u003cem\u003eA World Without Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Daniel Susskind shows why this time really is different. Advances in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of tasks—from diagnosing illnesses to drafting contracts—are increasingly within the reach of computers. The threat of technological unemployment is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo how can we all thrive in a world with less work? Susskind reminds us that technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: how to ensure everyone has enough to live on. The challenge will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, constrain the power of Big Tech, and provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the centre of our lives. In this visionary, pragmatic, and ultimately hopeful book, Susskind shows us the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46342552748268,"sku":"9780141986807","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14670053482238.jpg?v=1743919855"},{"product_id":"growth-by-daniel-susskind-9780241703137","title":"Growth","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA revelatory account of the past, present, and future of economic growth – and how we should rethink it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past two centuries, economic growth has freed billions from poverty and made our lives far healthier and longer.
