minus-squarem4xie@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·8 days agoOne of Vonnegut’s earlier novels, Player Piano, deals with just that — almost full unemployment due to automation and it’s effects across class lines. I love all of his work but that one in particular is worth a read, especially now.
