110. The rise of the robots
This week, it\\u2019s about work, automation, fear and loathing in god\\u2019s own county of Essex.
New Statesman tech writer Sarah Manavis has been to Tilbury to visit an \\u201cAmazon fulfilment centre\\u201d, which is almost exactly as fun as it sounds. She tells me what the experience taught her about modern corporate culture, as well as complaining about having to get up in the morning and also about her puppy Martha.
Dove-tailing neatly with the issues raised by that conversation, this week\\u2019s Ask The Experts segment with Centre for Cities boss Andrew Carter concerned what automation will do to Britain\\u2019s cities \\u2013 and how government can avoid repeating the mistakes it made in the 1980s.
Skylines is the podcast from the New Statesman\\u2019s cities site, CityMetric. It\\u2019s hosted by Jonn Elledge.
