"Inventing the Future" by Nick #Srnicek (2015) is a political and philosophical journey leading to 3 mutually-reinforcing demands:
1. Full automation
2. Universal basic income
3. Reduced work-time

Automation is great when its rewards are shared: the Luddites protested not the machines, but the concentration of capital.

It seems there's not been a better occasion to demand full automation - many are doing that already.

Now is the time to agitate for #UBI and reduced work-time (again.)
