"Will Work For Free"
Not many dramatic new revelations, but it's a pretty good summary of the issue of automation and structural unemployment.
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

Re: "Will Work For Free"
Nothing much you haven't already heard. Basically, unskilled or semi-skilled jobs are being wiped out by automation and some skilled jobs are going the same way, so we need to rethink our socioeconomic models.
