With the occasional discussions about a Universal Basic Income, this is how I viewed it'd be plausible.

Just to continue the discussion about the book, he dislikes basic income because it makes everybody fully dependent on the government for their wellbeing. He prefers a system where people have the dignity of having a way to earn their money :)

I'm not whether sure I agree or not, but the book was interesting

I don't mean basic income as a government expense; rather that the basic income is coming from selling your data and dictated by what the market is willing to pay for it.
