In 1901, Nikola Tesla proved there is energy in every object in the universe: the air, a rock, a tree, or a living being. Now, over a hundred years later and with much more technology at man’s disposal, science has achieved the unthinkable: radiant energy for all captured from thin air. No need to burn coal, drill for oil, or fracture the atom for power. The atmosphere is now energized, free power broadcast for all through radiant energy receivers and oscillators. Social upheaval exploded across the world as massive industries are now useless. This was anticipated by the powers that be. ...

Too many CEOs tell a simple story about the future of work: If a machine can do what you do, your job will be automated. They envision everyone from doctors to soldiers rendered superfluous by ever-more-powerful AI. They offer stark alternatives: Make robots, or be replaced by them. Another story is possible. In virtually every walk of life, robotic systems can make labor more valuable, not less. Frank Pasquale tells the story of nurses, teachers, designers, and others who partner with technologists, rather than meekly serving as data sources for their computerized replacements.
