Everyday in the media is an article about jobs— how they’re disappearing
for the middle class, how robots and artificial intelligence are stealing
them, how the Gig-Economy is forcing people to do mundane tasks for less
money. How true is it that our jobs are disappearing and how much is
technology to blame?

What is the inevitability of the future of jobs and why can’t we imagine
what that looks like? It’s hard to imagine talking to anyone better about
this, than Kevin Kelly. He’s the co-founder of Wired Magazine (as he calls
it the “Senior Maverick”) and he has a recent book called, “The Inevitable”
(which has recently been released in paperback). It’s a New York Times and
Wall Street Journal Best Seller. What Kevin has done is mapped the 12 major
trends that have already made themselves apparent and will definitely shape
our future. Kevin is amazing at packaging all those ideas that live within
those trends and making those things digestible. As you’ll hear, us humans
are pretty horrible at figuring out what’s coming next.
