Book: How AI and mechanization reshape workers' lives

Sarah O’Connor, a Financial Times reporter, has written a book that examines the workforce changes brought by mechanization and AI. The work stands out for centering on workers themselves, rather than on technology or policy, and for detailing the immediate effects on individuals whose lives have been dramatically altered. The book has received praise from The Times, which described it as 'original and enlightening, rooted in reality and populated by people,' adding that it represents 'the kind of writing that AI will never replace.' This endorsement highlights the book's human focus, which may resonate with readers interested in the personal side of technological change.
