Aaron Bastani’s debut book offers a powerful manifesto of hope for how new technologies will liberate us in the twenty-first century. It’s no surprise that this is one of our consistent top-sellers, as his viral explainers and Downstream discussions have provided many fruitful discussions and hopeful counter-narrative to cynicism towards the future by interrogating how technological advances can help us build a society beyond both capitalism and scarcity. 

Fully Automated Luxury Communism highlights how we can move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and build meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society heralds the beginning of history.
