And not only that, but this doesn't seem too far off. Programs like Estonia's e-Residency seem like a pretty significant step towards "orphaned" companies, with effective self ownership.

From there it doesn't seem a far cry for hyper-optimized insurance agencies to force companies to employ less and less humans, transferring more economic power to the algorithm.

Except that of course, that is a very far cry, and is where the book fell down imo. Still a great read.
