Dead Jobs

As AI, automation, and optimization reshape ourselves and our societies, what happens to a job when the world no longer needs it — or forgets it ever did?

Dead Jobs is a sharply observant,
darkly funny catalogue of lost professions, both real and almost-real. Each disappearance reveals something about the worlds we build — and the ones we leave behind.

A book for anyone who’s ever wondered what will happen to car mechanics, visionaries, or human beings themselves. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction, dry humour, and quiet dystopias.
