The Shift from Exploitation to Irrelevance

The chapter discusses how the rise of technology and automation may lead to a shift in power dynamics between the powerful and the weak in the context of labor. It explores the implications of companies no longer needing as many people working and the potential for populist revolts against an economic elite that no longer needs the people. The chapter also examines the challenges faced by liberalism in the face of mass unemployment and the need for ideologies to incorporate artificial intelligence and bioengineering into a new narrative.
