“The Second Machine Age” by Brynjolfsson and McAfee discusses the effects of increasing automation on the labor market and society, drawing a positive picture of technologically driven changes despite the challenges. They stress the importance of investing in education and entrepreneurship, particularly in software startups, to further improve the quality of life and accelerate innovation.
In the book “The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies,” Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee explore how digitalization and advanced technologies are transforming our ways of working, society, and economy. The authors argue that we are on the cusp of a new era in which cognitive tasks are increasingly automated, making humans and software-controlled machines substitutes rather than complements to one another. This work looks to the future with optimism and encourages us to rethink the effects of technological, social and economic progress.
