"With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories, the future of work has never been more uncertain, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe. [This book] explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth preserving.
