The Future of Work

For tens of thousands of years, man has been obsessed with making life easier for himself to avoid work. Ironically today, millenniums later, man finds himself caught in a struggle to find meaning in his career. “Take us away from our 9-5 and we don’t know what to do,” says Pepe Sepulveda, and in engaging fashion, he reimagines the role of work for the human being, painting a more utopian future where mankind finds the right balance with technology, robots and artificial intelligence.
