The Entertainment Industry Could Address One of Our Biggest Concerns About Automation

Automation will force most people out of a job and society will eventually be forced to adopt some form of universal basic income. What are people going to do when they no longer have to work? Initially it seems like a nice problem to have as it will free people to do what they really want to do with their lives. But we define ourselves by how we contribute to society, for most people their career is the answer to who they are and what they do. Some will spend all that extra time doing more of the things they already do with their free time: surfing the internet, watching movies and TV shows, and playing video games.
