EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC

It's a book Manna: Two Visions of Humanity's Future

Chapter 1 here: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm

This not a real software in development, just how this guy thinks automation will happen, and how it will affect things.

Edit: It has a wiki page

Plot Summary

quote:

The fictional story is set in 2050 and takes place in Cary, North Carolina before the narrator flies to Australia. The narrator starts at a minimum wage job at Burger-G before being laid-off, primarily due to the Manna, a computer management system, replacing people in the service industry. He then takes a bus to a small government provided welfare dormitory where he meets a friend. Soon after, he is visited by two girls who tell him that he's invited to live in Australia because his father bought stock in the Australia Project years prior. The narrator then goes on to discover the many aspects of the Australia Project.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
While not exacting on topic.

AlphaGo, the software that defeated Korean Go Master Lee Se-dol last year, has defeated Chinese Go Master Ke Jie. Ke Jie is ranked as the best Go player in the world and they were playing under the more complex Chinese ruleset.
