The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World
The jobs that survive automation will be the ones that require actually connecting with people.
Allison Pugh studies the work of teachers, doctors, chaplains and others whose value lies in what she calls connective labour, and argues that it is both undervalued and unusually resistant to being automated away. Sociological rather than futurist, and built on fieldwork rather than prediction.
