What if humanity's only job was to exist?In a world where artificial intelligence and robots perform every essential task, what remains for humankind? Society Without Humanity explores a provocative future where machines build, govern, heal, and sustain society-leaving people free from all necessity, but confronting them with questions of purpose, meaning, and control. Is it possible for AI to run an entire civilization? How would life look when work, struggle, and obligation are obsolete? Who decides what matters in a world maintained by algorithms? What becomes of humanity when it is no longer needed? Journey through thought-provoking scenarios, philosophical dilemmas, and scientific insights as this book examines the benefits and risks of a fully autonomous world.
Will such a society be a utopia, a dystopia, or something no one expects?Are we ready for a future where being human is optional?
