Empower yourself with the knowledge to keep up with the rapidly changing technical world of work, as two workforce productivity and technology experts lay out a clear picture of the coming revolution in how work is done and how jobs are shaped.

If you listen to the news, robots are coming for your job. Full-time employment will soon be a thing of the past as organizations opt more to hire employees on a contract basis. With technological advances across email, video, project management, and instant messaging platforms, being tied to a desk working full time for one company is becoming obsolete. So, where does that leave you?

The Human Cloud may be the most important book you read to prepare for how work is done in the future. In these pages, human cloud technologist Matthew Mottola and AI expert Matthew Coatney help you not only clearly understand the transition you see happening around you, but they will also help you take advantage of it.

In The Human Cloud, Mottola and Coatney inform you about topics including:

• How employees and employers will be able to take advantage of the new automated and freelance-based workplace. • How they will be able to take advantage of the new technology disruptions the machine cloud will create. • Why the changes employees and employers are seeing aren’t the projection of doom that many are predicting. • How to navigate the coming job marketplace.

By replacing fear with knowledge, you will better understand how this shift in employment is a good thing, be equipped to embrace the positive advantages new technology brings, and further secure how your own job is shaped so you are never left behind.
