In Fully Automated Luxury Communism, Aaron Bastani presents a visionary exploration of the potential of technological advancement to create a post-scarcity society. Drawing on Marxist theory and contemporary economic thought, the book argues for a radical reimagining of our relationship to work, wealth, and the environment.
Bastani challenges traditional notions of capitalism and presents a bold case for the feasibility of a future where automation liberates humanity from the drudgery of repetitive labour. He posits that as technology advances, it has the capacity to provide abundance for all, removing the barriers of poverty and inequality that plague our current systems. The narrative is interwoven with case studies and examples that illustrate how this vision can be realised.
This book is ideal for those interested in contemporary political ideologies, economics, and the future of work. Readers who appreciated Capitalism: A Ghost Story by Arundhati Roy or The Corruption of Capitalism by Guy Standing will find Bastani's insights equally stimulating.
