Well, there *are* some people writing speculative fiction -- one even
calls his work "science fiction" -- that suggest the future of work.
Here's a short list:
Bruce Sterling, _Distraction_
Bruce Sterling, _Holy Fire_
Bruce Sterling, _Heavy Weather_
William Gibson, _Virtual Light_
William Gibson, _Idoru_
William Gibson, _All Tomorrow's Parties_
Neal Stephenson, _The Diamond Age_
Bruce Sterling, Maneki Neko
