In his book, \u003ci\u003eThe Workplace of the Future: The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Precariat and the Death of Hierarchies\u003c\/i\u003e, Jon-Arild Johannessen sets a chilling vision of how robots and artificial intelligence will completely disrupt and transform working life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author contests that once the dust has settled from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, workplaces and professions will be unrecognizable and we will see the rise of a new social class: the precariat. We will live side by side with the 'working poor' - people who have several jobs, but still can't make ends meet. There will be a small salaried elite consisting of innovation and knowledge workers. Slightly further into the future, there will be a major transformation in professional environments. Johannessen also presents a typology for the precariat, the uncertain work that is created and develops a framework for the working poor, as well as for future innovation and knowledge workers, and sets out a new structure for the social hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating and thought-provoking insight into the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, \u003ci\u003eThe Workplace of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to professionals and academics alike.
