"If you're an optimist about the robotic future, you likely hear talk that we're all going to lose our jobs or suffer a big pay cut, and tell friends to relax -- the new technology revolution is going to turn out like all the others since the dawn of the Industrial Age. But if history is your best hope, you should probably think again: [ The Technology Trap has] a strong case." ---Steve Levine, Axios, "[ The Technology Trap ] offers a fascinating history of technology's effects on employment from the Industrial Revolution to today and attempts to tackle how we might avoid a repeat of past social ills, as the Computer Revolution sweeps away a majority of human jobs." ---Robert Elliott Smith, Medium, "Carl Benedikt Frey has written an important and timely book . . . . A great deal of effort, thought, and scholarship went into its writing, and it shows. There is much food for thought here and I can envision this assigned in upper division economics classes as well as some graduate courses." ---Alexander Field, EH.net, [Frey] investigates the short, medium, and long-term consequences of the Industrial Revolution on workers, finding that in fact the changes had extraordinarily negative consequences in the short term. His lessons from this pivotal moment in history can help technology leaders avoid the biggest risks today in how we design human/AI systems in the coming age of automation., "A superb guide to 21st-century automation and its disruptive effects." ---John Harris, The Guardian, "[E]rudite and thoughtful, and the questions [ The Technology Trap ] raises are important and pertinent." ---Joel Mokyr, Journal of Economic History, "In his bracing new book The Technology Trap , Carl Frey extrapolates from the history of the industrial revolution to offer a vision of the future in which Amazon Go, AI assistants and autonomous vehicles are 'worker replacement' technologies." ---Greg Williams, Wired, " The Technology Trap is the perfect book for higher ed people to read . . . . deeply researched and [convincingly] argued." ---Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Education, "I was hugely impressed by this well-researched book, which provides a fascinating historical analysis of the interplay between government policy and technical change around the world. At the same time, it provides clues about how similar dynamics may shape the ongoing wave of automation, and what that might mean for wealth distribution within and among countries." ---Sami Mahroum, Project Syndicate, Narrator Richard Lyddon performs an almost impossible feat -- making a very theoretical audiobook sound absorbable in a truly entertaining way . . . . Cheers to both Frey and Lyddon, a pairing that listeners may wish to hear again., "[Frey] takes a provocative, original long view on current concerns, examining the fallout from past technological advances . . . to mass production and artificial intelligence." ---Andrew Hill, Financial Times, Summer Books of 2019, "An extremely useful history of the effect of technology on jobs and income inequality." ---John Judis, The National Interest, "Excellently written, full of examples and studies I hadn't previously encountered, and I learned a lot." ---Tim Harford, " The Technology Trap offers a rich account of the history of automation . . . . If anything, the corona-crisis has made this 2019 publication even more relevant. The lockdowns will likely accelerate automation in the workplace, and in the wake of the resulting economic decline and rising unemployment, questions around jobs and automation will become more politically fraught than they had been up to now." ---Justin Nogarede, The Progressive Post, "An excellent analysis of past industrial revolutions, the technologies that emerged within them, and the way societies adapted to those changes." ---Adi Gaskell, Forbes, "Frey explores automation and its consequences, taking the reader on a long sweep of UK and US industrial history that demonstrates the distinction between labour-enabling and labour-replacing technologies. . . As arguably the most comprehensive account of automation to date, this book deserves to be read widely" ---Liam Kennedy, London School of Economics Review of Books, "[ The Technology Trap ] is a reminder that the future of work depends on policy choices. It is well worth reading." ---Ravi Venkatesan, Book Review Literacy Trust, "Frey's observations and detailed historical analysis are useful for even those of us who cling to a more optimistic view of the long run." ---Micheal Munger, Law & Liberty, "Frey's analysis is worth taking seriously because the Oxford economic historian and economist has researched his subject deeply and has co-authored one of the most widely cited studies on automation . . . . Frey's story is well argued and -- at times -- deeply alarming about the stability of western democracies given he predicts the further concentration of wealth in a few hands and in even fewer locations" ---John Thornhill, Financial Times, "Frey offers a refreshingly human-centered analysis of technological progress." ---Oscar Schwartz, Stanford Social Innovation Review, "Anybody interested in the economic impact of digital and AI, in particular on jobs, will want to read [ The Technology Trap ]." ---Diane Coyle, Enlightened Economist, "It's clear The Technology Trap has plenty to teach us, and should automatically be on the reading list of any serious policy maker or politician." ---Ben Ramanauskas, Cap X, The Technology Trap may well ensnare doom-seekers' attention with its ominous-sounding title. But it should ultimately hearten anyone who reads it., "Frey provides a longue durée examination of the economic, social, and political interplay that drives technological change. Careful, erudite, elegantly written, and full of insight, the book sets the current overwrought debate about automation and AI on a firm contextualized footing." ---Jayati Ghosh, Project Syndicate, "One of Frey's most salient points is that our attitudes and actions toward technology can play a pivotal role in how it impacts us. A lot of stock has been put into Frey and Osborne's prediction of 47 percent automation. But if Frey's book gets even half the attention the paper got, it should serve to quell some of our fears around a bleak machine-dominated future." ---Vanessa Bates Ramirez, Singularity Hub, "'The Technology Trap' . . . made me look at the industrial revolution, invention, sleeping beauties, contexts and the forces that shape our societies differently. . . . Techies and economists love to point out that the textile machines the Luddites opposed in the 19th century brought greater prosperity to all -- but it took three generations before the benefits kicked in, and there was a lot of pain and suffering in the meantime. And as Frey points out, history is made in the short term." ---David Byrne, New York Times Book Review, A . . . danger is that Luddite efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits--something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a 'technology trap'., "Frey's book is a history with a policy purpose . . . the book reveals an enormous scope of reading." ---Kenneth Lipartito, American Historical Review, "There is little reason to doubt the contemporary relevance of Frey's analysis into the consequences of automation on the labour market, and the broader sociopolitical implications of those technological changes which are highly anticipated to reshape our working lives and economic existence as we know it. The voluminous public commentary about technology, and public protests against the ramifications of technology change (such as taxi drivers decrying peertopeer ridesharing services which rely on smartphone apps), serve as sufficient warrant to pay attention to Frey's contribution." ---Mikayla Novak, Economic Record, "Even when we learned enough about how the world works to change and manipulate it -- to disrupt the status quo -- stasis had its defenders. And it still does today. So many historical examples of this in the great 2019 book, The Technology Trap ." ---James Pethokoukis, AEI, "As [Frey] points out in his new book The Technology Trap, for all that the robots may make the world more local, they may have other painful side-effects, putting millions of people out of work and sparking an almighty backlash." ---Ed Conway, The Times

Synopsis
The Technology Trap is a sweeping account of the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society's members. As Carl Benedikt Frey shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanisation were devastating. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends broadly mirror those in our current age of automation. But, just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. The Technology Trap demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present. 'Frey's story is well argued and -- at times -- deeply alarming.' -- John Thornhill, Financial Times 'An excellent analysis of past industrial revolutions, the technologies that emerged within them, and the way societies adapted to those changes.' -- Adi Gaskell, Forbes 'The Technology Trap may well ensnare doom-seekers' attention with its ominous-sounding title.

As Carl Benedikt Frey shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends, Frey documents, broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. But Frey argues that this depends on how the short term is managed. In the nineteenth century, workers violently expressed their concerns over machines taking their jobs. The Luddite uprisings joined a long wave of machinery riots that swept across Europe and China. Today's despairing middle class has not resorted to physical force, but their frustration has led to rising populism and the increasing fragmentation of society. As middle-class jobs continue to come under pressure, there's no assurance that positive attitudes to technology will persist. The Industrial Revolution was a defining moment in history, but few grasped its enormous consequences at the time. The Technology Trap demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present.
