Rise of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything
Martin Ford’s FT/McKinsey-winning book is titled “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future,” not “How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything.”
Full reasoning
The post gives the wrong subtitle for Martin Ford’s book Rise of the Robots.
Multiple bibliographic/publisher listings for the book show its full title as “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future.” For example:
- Rakuten Kobo lists the ebook as “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future” (Basic Books).
- VitalSource lists the same subtitle for the book (also published by Basic Books).
The subtitle “How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything” appears to belong to a different Martin Ford book (“Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything”), which likely explains the mix-up.
Because the claim is presented as the full title of the FT Book of the Year winner, and the actual published title differs, this is a factual error (incorrect book title/subtitle).

- Rakuten Kobo — Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future (Martin Ford)
Kobo lists the book as “Rise of the Robots — Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future” (Basic Books).
- VitalSource — Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future (Martin Ford)
VitalSource lists the subtitle as “Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future” and identifies the publisher as Basic Books.
- Wikipedia — Martin Ford (author) (books list)
Wikipedia distinguishes “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future” from “Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything,” suggesting the post likely mixed the subtitles.
