Interesting take on the collapse of society due to massive unemployment brought on by the automation of nearly everything. Reminiscent of Vonnegut's [b:Player Piano|9597|Player Piano|Kurt Vonnegut|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1343762930s/9597.jpg|1005005] with heavy references to Asimov. Not as well written or as fleshed out as their material, the ideas are still very intriguing and worth reading. (
