About this book
What does it mean to keep learning when degrees come with an expiry date? Kim Yong-seop calls the people who last in a world where crisis is routine “professional students”. As work is automated, jobs disappear and the economy reshapes itself, losing sight of the future means becoming obsolete. With global companies dropping degree requirements and the half-life of knowledge shrinking, the book asks what we, and our children, should be studying.
