Summary: Are we prepared for a future where robots are the most sought after employees? Maybe not. Lawmakers will blame anything but automation for job losses and flat wages -- but sci-fi writers are up to the challenge. In her debut novel Autonomous, <a href="https://www.techsploitation.com/">Annalee Newitz</a> imagines humans taking designer drugs to try and compete with A.I. for jobs. <a href="http://hieroglyph.asu.edu/story/johnny-appledrone-vs-the-faa/">Lee Konstantinou</a> writes about the last worker at a pit stop for self-driving trucks. And the <a href="https://www.jamessacorey.com/">authors</a> of The Expanse depict a future where under-employed Earthers leave for a rugged life in space. Also featuring Arizona State University professor <a href="http://csi.asu.edu/people/ed-finn/">Ed Finn</a>, and <a href="https://www.erikbergmann.com/">Erik Bergmann</a> lending his voice for dramatic readings.
