Product description

What happens when intelligent machines no longer need us to work?

For centuries, humanity has defined its worth through labor, productivity, and economic usefulness. But what happens when artificial intelligence challenges that foundation?

When We Are No Longer Needed is a thought-provoking exploration of artificial intelligence, money, automation, technological fear, and the future of human identity.

From ancient coinage and the invention of paper money to cryptocurrency, HAL 9000, and the rise of intelligent machines, this book examines how technology has transformed our relationship with work, wealth, power, and purpose.

At its heart lies a radical question:

If human beings are no longer economically necessary, does their right to dignity, freedom, and survival remain unconditional?

Introducing Post-Utility Humanism, the book explores a new philosophical framework built around human dignity, the Civilization Dividend, and the right to exist without constantly proving economic usefulness.

This is not simply a book about artificial intelligence replacing jobs.

It is a book about what it means to be human when being useful is no longer enough to define us.
