Labor Zero

David Shapiro's 'Labor Zero' (L/0) presents a vision for abolishing the need for coerced human labor, distinguishing between voluntary creation and wage slavery.

The book details a six-part framework covering automation's impact on strength, dexterity, cognition, and empathy, economic dislocation from agentic AI, and practical steps for individuals, organizations, and nations to navigate a post-labor future.

It builds on Shapiro's Substack writings and videos, aiming to unite capital and labor in designing broad ownership distribution and human liberation from drudgery.
