This session we are discussing We are not Machines by Sarah O'Connor.

Written by an award-winning journalist at the Financial Times, 'We are not Machines' takes a hard look at how technology is changing the world of work and asks whether, rather than worrying about robots taking our jobs, we should instead be more worried about accidentally becoming robots ourselves.

Reviews

'Not many books about the labour market make you laugh and bring tears to your eyes. This one does. It's the kind of writing that AI will never replace...' Emma Duncan, The Times

'Sarah is one of the few people who really understands how AI is changing the character of work already and what it means for all of us' - David Runciman

'A fierce, wise, beautiful book' - Tim Harford, the Undercover Economist
