Besides the essential circular economy requirement, which you mention, the hardest transformation will be the political-economic system. When artificial labour becomes so cheap, how do we decouple having a job from meeting basic human needs? James Arbib and Tony Seba brainstorm some alternatives in their new book, Stellar (out soon), but I worry about the feasibility (given political and economic ideologies and institutional inertia).
Remarkable to see so many of my deep held beliefs on robotics all written out by someone else. It’s been a very long time coming so it’s hard for me to believe we are truly on the threshold.

I got the first ever external copy of ‘Stellar’ - and a copy of the latest version yesterday. And I worry about inertia, too.
It was brilliant discussing this all at RethinkX thanks John @JamieArbib @RichardGill
