Is Inequality About to Get Unimaginably Worse?

The Inquiry

Yuval Noah Harari, the author of Sapiens and Homo Deus, explores the long history of inequality โ€“ from the Stone Age onwards โ€“ and asks whether we are on the brink of creating a huge โ€œeconomically uselessโ€ underclass, unable to keep up with enhanced humans, the owners of increasingly valuable data and, eventually, artificial intelligence.
