A Sentinel investigation in three chapters

Who Takes Care of the Robots When We're Gone?

1. Chapter One The Trades Are Retiring The rich economies are aging out of essential work and buying machines to fill the gap. The poorer ones are aging too — and can't afford the fix.
2. Chapter Two The Zuckerberg Complex A robot that takes a person’s job has to be taught that job first — and it learns from data taken from the workers it will replace and the public it will watch. Follow the data, and the money, to the top.
3. Chapter Three Medical Bots Automation is reaching the clinic, the operating room and the note — the codifiable, well-paid tiers of health work. The bedside, scarce and cheap, it leaves alone. That is the problem.
