COVID Edition
By Jason Schenker, Chairman of The Futurist Institute

The future of work is not a binary choice between doomsday or utopia. It’s a path we shape—together.

Will robots take all the jobs? Will automation free us for lives of creativity and leisure—or trap us in a dystopia of mass unemployment and government dependence?

In Jobs for Robots, top-ranked futurist and economist Jason Schenker cuts through the noise, hype, and fear to deliver a powerful, data-driven guide to what automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence really mean for the future of work.

Updated to reflect the seismic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on remote work, education, supply chains, and digital transformation, this COVID Edition explores how the automation age has accelerated—and what it means for workers, companies, and policymakers.

🔍 Inside this Book:

• The truth about Robocalypse vs. Robotopia—and why the real future is in between

• Why jobs like truck driving, retail, and even finance face disruption

• How robots can increase your freedom: of time, movement, and consumer choice

• Why rising national debt and unreformed entitlements could incentivize over-automation

• A critical analysis of Universal Basic Income—and why it might make things worse

• How to robot-proof your career with skills that thrive in the automation age

• What the past of work (think blacksmiths and millers) tells us about adapting to change

• How education, tax reform, and smarter policy can help society win the automation race

Whether you're a worker, leader, policymaker, student, or parent, Jobs for Robots gives you the tools to understand—and shape—the economic and technological forces transforming our world.

📘 Don’t just fear the future. Prepare for it. Read Jobs for Robots and take control of your tomorrow.
