About the book You are about to become obsolete. You think you are special, unique, and that whatever it is that you are doing is impossible to replace. You are wrong. As we speak, millions of algorithms created by computer scientists are frantically running on servers all over the world, with one sole purpose: do whatever humans can do, but better. That is the argument for a phenomenon called technological unemployment, one that is pervading modern society. But is that really the case? Or is it just a futuristic fantasy? What will become of us in the coming years, and what can we do to prevent a catastrophic collapse of society? Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That's OK: How to Survive the Economic Collapse and Be Happy explores the impact of technological advances on our lives, what it means to be happy, and provides suggestions on how to avoid a systemic collapse.

FAQ I like paper, I want a physical copy. Can I get one? Indeed, you can! You may purchase a paperback version on Amazon.com and a Hardcover on Lulu. I don't have a Kindle, how can I read the Kindle version? You may buy the Kindle version on Amazon, but you don't need a Kindle to read it! You can read it instantly in your browser with Kindle Cloud Reader, or use one of the free apps for iPhone & iPod touch, Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, Windows PC, Mac OS X, iPad, and Android (download here the free software for you platform to read the Kindle book). The file is also DRM-free, so no digital locks or bullshit like that. I read that you were going to give away a free PDF. Is that true? Most certainly! I believe information should be free, hence the book is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0. I spent a year working on this book almost full time, so for the first few months only a paid version will be available. Later on in 2013, I will release a free PDF for anyone to share freely. I heard this story before, but it hasn't happened. Are you a luddite? Yes, I've heard this story before too, and I think there are very good reasons why it didn't happen before, and why it will happen now. No, I am not a luddite, quite the contrary actually.
