The End of Normal: A Human Survival Guide to the AI Jobpocalypse
About this ebook
THE END OF NORMAL: A HUMAN SURVIVAL GUIDE TO THE AI JOBPOCALYPSE is a practical guidebook for individuals and the average American family to manage the most dramatic transformation of the economy and labor market in human history. This is a powerful and cautionary sequel to Yang’s 2018 New York Times bestseller The War on Normal People: The Truth about America’s Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future, which sounded the alarm about the automation of work due to advancing technology.
Today, millions of jobs are being replaced by AI, and college graduates are underemployed at record numbers. What happened to manufacturing workers when robots hit the assembly lines thirty years ago is now happening to knowledge workers as offices empty out. How should individuals respond and adapt?
The End of Normal breaks down how the economy will change; what jobs will be here to stay and which will disappear; how education will evolve; how different demographics will be impacted; how our leaders and institutions should respond; and more. This is the authoritative resource and road map for people and families who want to stay ahead of the curve and prosper in a difficult time.
