Lanier sounds like the anti-Kurzweil. Like others, I find his vision of the future too pessimistic and his proposed solution not workable.
He rightly raises concerns about how our roles/jobs/lives will change in the future.
But, I am much more bullish with developments like decentralized currencies, micro loans and other new banking models, advances in clean energy technology, and possibly even remote space colonies in the not too far distant future.
In this future, I imagine more opportunities for individuals.
