"One of the best futures books in recent years: very readable, remarkably informed, and non-flamboyant. Many new and important ideas."

"A sober, careful, and engaging book. Anyone who is worried about how he or she will fare in a world where machines will assume an ever-greater share of human activity, will find Evolution Isn't What It Used To Be essential and thoroughly enjoyable reading."
