You are studying today for a job market that is currently undergoing fundamental change. *Homo Obsoletus* explains what this means in concrete terms—not as a doomsday scenario, but as a sober analysis of what is already happening.
Which professional fields are most affected by AI and robotics? Why is it no longer enough to be well-educated—when AI systems can access the same knowledge in seconds? What skills will actually be in demand? And what legal, economic, and social conditions will determine whether this transformation proceeds fairly or not?
Matthias Linke does not offer career counseling in the traditional sense. But he sharpens our focus on what is truly at stake—and why the generation studying today has more influence on the outcome of this transformation than any other. A book that provides guidance without promising false security.
