A review by subtle
The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies by Andrew McAfee, Erik Brynjolfsson

A great book for understanding how automation will change the landscape of employment. Not a doom-and-gloom prediction of coming collapse, but not rosy either, the book lays out the dangers and opportunities that can and will arise, as well as giving suggestions and commentary on how to respond to this coming change.
