Legacy Audiobooks
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Are you prepared for the future of work? Andrew Yang’s landmark book, "The War on Normal People," delivers a wake-up call about the accelerating automation wave transforming America. Learn how technology is displacing millions, from manufacturing and trucking to retail and even high-skilled professions, creating a "Great Displacement" with profound social consequences – rising inequality, despair, and community breakdown.
