A different kind of politics for a new kind of society--beyond work,
scarcity and capitalism In the twenty-first century, new technologies
should liberate us from work. 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.
Improvements 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.
New 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.
