In 'Rise of the Robots', Martin Ford argues that advances in robotics and artificial intelligence will lead to widespread job displacement across various sectors, including highly educated professions.

The book presents examples of how automation could displace or de-skill many jobs and suggests a guaranteed basic income as a potential solution to mitigate the effects of unemployment.

It provides a compelling case for the real and severe impacts of modern industrialization due to technological advancements.
