  • the crucial roles of planning and connectivity between technologies
  • 2035 scenarios based on adoption of different automation and manufacturing-led models.

The book also presents assessments on the potential levels of automation that different technologies are likely to deliver up to 2035, the wider benefits they can deliver and impacts on the future of work.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
