About the Book

Race Against the Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy was an excellent read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about information technology and how it is affecting our current job situation. The main thesis the authors discuss is how technology is accelerating and in turn producing a net job loss.

This book is divided into five chapters. It starts off with describing how technology influences the economy and how advanced technology is responsible for some disappearing jobs. The last two chapters focus on how to fix this issue and include some information about how technology isn’t a complete negative in today’s society.
