The Second Machine Age
Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies
Book • 2014
The book explores the concept of the 'Second Machine Age,' where digital technologies, including hardware, software, and networks, are revolutionizing work and life.
It discusses how these technologies are making humans and machines substitutes rather than complements, leading to significant economic changes such as increased productivity and profits, but also rising inequality.
The authors propose strategies for survival and prosperity, including revamping education, designing new collaborations between humans and machines, and implementing policies to mitigate the negative effects of technological advancements.
