The basic idea is the Expertise framework.  Jobs are composed of tasks, tasks have more or less expertise associated with them.  If the less-expert tasks are automated, expertise is valued, there are fewer but more highly paid workers (experienced software architects).  If the more-expert tasks are automated, the remaining work is lower-paid, and more broadly available (Amazon warehouse workers).  The way out is the creation of new expertise, through the creation of new tasks, most of which we can’t yet conceive of.

Douglas was arguing this years ago when I expressed my fears regarding automation and paid work.  This is a nuanced guide to the argument, with supporting research and examples.  Along the way, lots of good ideas and observations.
