Episode 1: The Robots Are Coming!

I've been a bit obsessed with the potential risk robots (and, more broadly, accelerating technology) may pose to the future of the middle class ever since reading Martin Ford's bookThe Lights in the Tunnel last Thanksgiving. I'd heard of Ford's book and had it staring at me on my Kindle for over a year, and when I finally sat down to read it I was blown away.

Race Against the Machine, largely agrees with Ford. In this episode, I talk to both men – two of the top thinkers in this emerging arena – about what accelerating technology really means for our economic future.
