The book's about how to make yourself indispensable to your employer, thus guaranteeing employment. It's important to do this in today's economy you know.
He talks about how traditionally employers wanted compliant, robotic employees. This creates a problem for us middle class employees. We're replaceable because we're so robotic.
Also, our wages don't increase much because why would they? There's always a huge pool of robotic workers who can pretty much replace us at any time.
He argues that ABC (Attendance Based Compensation) is dead. You just can't expect to show up to work and get paid anymore.
I skimmed the first few chapters and then stopped reading. No point to continue really, as it seemed like common sense. Don't know why it needed to be a huge book. A few paragraphs would have done just fine.
