In his new and uplifting book The AI Economy, Roger Bootle
provides tangible grounds for optimism. -- Mark Littlewood * The
Times *
a well-researched, enjoyable and thoughtful book. -- Calum Chace *

A very good read ... as an introduction to the debate as a whole,
this book is invaluable. -- Charlie Paice * Adam Smith Blog *
Bootle admits from the off that AI was a new topic to him when
researching the book, which comes as a relief to the average reader
and means we are not bogged down in technical jargon, with tricky
concepts explained succinctly and clearly. ... [Bootle] does not
shy away from the fact that AI will be a massively disruptive force
on the economy, which will force some workers to find new
employment, but The AI Economy is a somewhat reassuring read
if you are spooked by the idea that robots will steal all the jobs,
or wince at the idea of inserting a microchip under your skin. --
Jess Clarke * City AM *
This book will probably annoy technophiles, not only because of its
lack of technological detail but also because it is finely written
by a polymath. It will be a long time before a computer can mesh
the thoughts of Voltaire, Malthus, Keynes, Dawkins and Harari. --
