Automation, rather than undermining an economy built on full employment, is instead the path to a world of liberty, luxury and happiness - for everyone. Technological advance will reduce the value of commodities - food, healthcare and housing -towards zero.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImprovements in renewable energies will make fossil fuels a thing of the past. Asteroids will be mined for essential minerals. Genetic editing and synthetic biology will prolong life, virtually eliminate disease and provide meat without animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew horizons beckon. In Fully Automated Luxury Communism, Aaron Bastani conjures a vision of extraordinary hope, showing how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and establish meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society merely heralds the real beginning of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35021698662553,"sku":"9781786632630","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781786632630_b1221bc4-5464-4112-b321-6c1a6bdfdba4.jpg?v=1601396338","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781786632630","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
