This book provides a detailed analysis of the economic and political
implications of the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and
Robotics into the service sector of economies that have so far relied
on service jobs to sustain levels of employment. It examines how
reliance on coercive measures for enforcing low-paid service work
attempts to postpone this third Industrial Revolution, and analyses
the struggles that must still take place if we are to achieve a future
of freedom and social justice for all. While automation and
globalisation have made human solidarities of traditional kinds more
difficult to sustain, they have also made new kinds possible.
Experiments in social policy, and especially the pilot projects with
unconditional Universal Basic Incomes, offer a possible model for a
new kind of society. The author argues that it is politics which will
determine whether we can achieve these new human solidarities.
