The startup series of books are great guides for entrepreneurs looking for information just starting out. You don’t necessarily have to buy the book(s) because many of them are available at your local library. I didn’t borrow my copy because I wanted my own to mark up and write notes in the pages!
I highly recommend this book for its high level of resource material inside.

The Robots of Christmas Past, Present and Future

Rise of the Robots: Technology
and the threat of a jobless future

We have all seen the self checkout lines at the big retailers growing in number every year and the number of cashiers shrinking in number too.  

 Question:  What happens when there are no more cashiers and only self checkout?  Will there be lower prices?  Will cashiers still work for the company or will they be out of a job?

This book is an eye opener! It raises the questions and forces us to think about the relentless march of technology from Artificial Intelligence and Biotechnology to Nanotechnology and Environmental Tech.   

The social impact of technology is already being felt in many ways and "Rise of the robots" explores these impacts into the future.  It is very well worth the time and I highly recommend reading it.
