His book, Automation and Utopia: Human Flourishing in a World Without Work cuts through some of the hype and pessimism about automation and work, making a rigorous case for techno-utopianism about the future.

- The value of philosophy in today’s modern tech world
- Why John says we’ll never have fully autonomous vehicles
- What John thinks about a robot tax
- How robotics and AI will impact jobs and economy
- The evolution of ethics and technology changes
- Why utopia is rarely a top-down system
- How to change tech and social media for the better
- What technology is John most worried about and why
- Why we’ll need a more socialist society to survive automation
- How to deal with AI failures and tech safety
- Why we’re headed for a virtual future
- The importance of space travel and pushing the boundaries
