In this video essay, I look at The Expanse’s vision of a post‑work society. AI automation might make work obsolete in the near term future, leading to mass unemployment -and taking together with the coming overpopulation crisis, I compare this realistic sci-fi show's prediction about “Basic Assistance” to our world's premise of Universal Basic Healthcare (UBI) to show what life could and should look like beyond the 9‑to‑5 grind. I break down how automation anxiety, universal basic income, and the collapse of traditional jobs play out in this gritty sci‑fi world.
