In The War on Normal People, Yang imagines a different future - one in which having a job is distinct from the capacity to prosper and seek fulfillment. The future looks dire-but is it unavoidable? The consequences are these trends are already being felt across our communities in the form of political unrest, drug use, and other social ills. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. From entrepreneur Andrew Yang, the founder of Venture for America, an eye-opening look at how new technologies are erasing millions of jobs before our eyes-and a rallying cry for the urgent steps America must take, including Universal Basic Income, to stabilize our economy-now available in paperback.
