"All work can be divided into four types: routine and nonroutine, cognitive and manual." "Routine work started to stagnate in 1990, because some of that work can be best handled by machines."
"Of course, routine work once formed the basis of the American middle class. It's routine, manual work that Henry Ford paid people middle-class wages to perform, and it's routine cognitive work that once filled American office buildings. That world is dwindling, leaving only two kinds of jobs with rosy outlooks: jobs that require so little thought that they pay next to nothing, and jobs that require so much thought that the salaries are exorbitant."
"Advances in technology are now so exponential that milestones we once thought far away will start arriving rapidly. What’s more, humans are entirely unprepared." But what are humans supposed to do to "prepare"? The writer argues for a universal basic income, but is that even possible?
