While warnings of a robot world-takeover could seem dramatic, the truth is more mundane―robots have come to take our jobs. Winning in the Robotic Workplace: How to Prosper in the Automation Age will teach you the skills needed to reprogram the way you work in anticipation of this technological shift.

Author John F. Wasik believes learning to thrive in the automation age can in fact humanize the workplace once again. In Winning in the Robotic Workplace: How to Prosper in the Automation Age, you will learn to emphasize the conceptualization and pursuit of creative ideas, a practice that most robots are unequipped to perform in a meaningful way. You will learn that the successful integration of automated elements with humans is the most effective business model moving forward, and that an eagerness to collaborate demonstrates a will to succeed.

I can say this is one of the worst books I've read since I started working in robotics almost 10 years ago. It's full of the most innovative ideas from 2010, with plenty of self help and business buzzwords randomly thrown in. He's literally quoting policies from the Obama administration and mentioning stock market events from 2010. I had to check because I really couldn't believe this was published in 2022. I can't figure out who this book is for, he oscillates between giving basic personal finance and college advice to reminding the reader that social media is useless, machines will never be able to innovate, and "word processors have grammar check now!" It was so disjointed and unfocused I found myself starting to get mad at the level of misinformation.

For as important as he says writing and storytelling are to him this book is not compelling, funny or clever. The narrator is also pretty dry and flat which doesn't help. It's the same useless out of date banal advice you might get asking your grandfather about robotics. I find it quite ironic he doesn't think jobs like his are possible to automate while a chatbot could have written a better book.
