Saletan begins by dispelling the myth that automation will lead to mass unemployment. While it's true that some jobs will be lost to automation, he argues that new jobs will also be created. The key is to identify the jobs that are most likely to be automated and to prepare workers for the new jobs that will be created.

Invest in education and training.
Develop skills that are not easily automated.
Become more adaptable and flexible.
Network with other professionals.
