The last job on Earth: imagining a fully automated world

Video    Guardian Animations    G    17 February 2016

Machines could take 50% of our jobs

in the next 30 years, according to scientists.

While we can’t predict the future,

we can imagine a world without work

– one where those who own the tech get rich from it

and everyone else ekes out a living,

propped up by an increasingly fragile state.

Meet Alice,

holder of the last recognisable job on Earth,

trying to make sense of her role

in an automated world.
