Thousand Years from now - Chapter 1: The concept of Work - Historical Overview & Evolution

The Monday series is an experiment to write a book in open of how commerce, trade and work will look like in a 1000 years. I am writing these paid chapters into a core group of futuristic enthusiasts to source, to do an extensive analysis & research, writing with trial and error formulating a comprehensive knowledge base for a book leaping into the future in multiple editions every 10 years for my lifetime. I expect the first edition to come out before 2023 December or mid 2024.

Well assumed, I am going to use all might at hand including the current forms of LLMs. outlining a book like this is quite a task as it involves speculation, understanding of technological trends, human behavior, incentives and the possible future of the work landscape.

We should keep in mind that any prediction for a thousand years in the future will be highly speculative, but we can draw from past patterns of innovation and change to make some educated guesses.

Here is a general outline of the 26 chapters as my starting point:

Introduction

1. The Concept of Work - Historical Overview and Evolution

2. An Overview of the Next Thousand Years - A Projection and its Implications
