Synopsis

Homo Obsoletus – Humanoid Robots, Artificial Intelligence, and the 5th Industrial Revolution

What if the day comes when millions of people wake up and realize that their jobs are no longer needed? Not because they have failed. But because the machines that have quietly taken root in factories, offices, and warehouses can simply do it better—faster, cheaper, and without stopping.

This morning is not a dystopia. It is a matter of when.

Matthias Linke works in the aerospace industry, has served on the executive boards of three companies, and studied business administration, organizational development, and business law. As the founder of WorldX GmbH, he supports people in their career planning and trains apprentices who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Through the association WorldX e. V., he makes professional expertise available free of charge and worldwide. And for the past year, he has been a father—with the very concrete question of what the world will look like when his daughter comes of age.

From this unusually broad perspective, he analyzes in “Homo Obsoletus” what lies ahead for us: Humanoid robots that fit into human infrastructure without a single square meter needing to be rebuilt. AI systems that distill decades of experiential knowledge into minutes and distribute it worldwide. A business logic that no company can escape in the long run—and which therefore requires not a moral, but a societal response.

The book shows: The profits of this revolution are currently going to a select few. Society bears the costs. And that can be changed—if we make the right decisions now: in tax policy, in the education system, in the law.

“Homo Obsoletus” is not a book of panic. It is a book of clarity. For everyone who wants to understand what is really coming their way—and what they can make of it.
