The dawn of a new epoch often arrives without fanfare-a subtle shift in the wind, an almost imperceptible change in the cadence of daily life. So it was with the advent of non-human knowledge workers. Now they populate our workplaces, outnumbering their human colleagues. Their presence has reshaped not only the mechanics of work, but its soul.
