Publisher's summary
Empower yourself with the knowledge to keep up with the rapidly changing technical world of work, as two workforce productivity and technology experts lay out a clear picture of the coming revolution - in how work is done and how jobs are shaped.
If you listen to the news, robots are coming for your job. Full-time employment will soon be a thing of the past as organizations opt more to hire employees on a contract basis. With technological advances across email, video, project management, and instant messaging platforms, being tied to a desk working full time for one company is becoming obsolete. So, where does that leave you?
The Human Cloud may be the most important book you hear to prepare for how work is done in the future. In this book, human cloud technologist Matthew Mottola and AI expert Matthew Coatney help you not only clearly understand the transition you see happening around you but they will also help you take advantage of it.
In The Human Cloud, Mottola and Coatney inform you about topics including:
- How employees and employers will be able to take advantage of the new automated and freelance-based workplace.
- How they will be able to take advantage of the new technology disruptions the machine cloud will create.
- Why the changes employees and employers are seeing aren’t the projection of doom that many are predicting.
- How to navigate the coming job marketplace.
By replacing fear with knowledge, you will better understand how this shift in employment is a good thing, be equipped to embrace the positive advantages new technology brings, and further secure how your own job is shaped so you are never left behind.

No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

Story
We all feel stuck sometimes: in our jobs, our relationships, our habits, or when the life we’re living simply doesn’t add up to the one we want. We feel stuck when it seems like we don’t have options, or when we don’t trust or allow ourselves to make the changes we so deeply long to make. Speaker and yoga teacher Becky Vollmer believes that, when we feel paralyzed by our fears, the answer isn’t just courage—it’s choice. You Are Not Stuck is the key to breaking the cycle of fear and making bold choices for real change.

Everyone experiences trauma. Whether a specific harrowing event or a series of stressful moments that culminate over time, trauma can echo and etch itself into our brain as we remember it again and again throughout our lives. In Everyday Trauma, neuroscientist Dr. Tracey Shors examines trauma with a focus on its pervasive nature - how it can happen at any time, through big or small events, and how it often reappears in the form of encoded memory.

Nothing new. Great for entry level remote workers
As I shift more and more of my work to the cloud and less IRL, I look for any tips to make the transition smoother. Unfortunately this book gave me nothing new; just a new vocabulary for my day-to-day activities. For that, I felt the book was worth the time and cost. However, for a person looking to go freelance remote, this book is a great starting point.

We are the new cloud, and this story tell us how
Mat and Mat put together a story that is concise and true. The stories, activities, and knowledge given to us, the reader, is something that you can find elsewhere but not in this amount of detail . I recommend this book to anyone!

Vaporware
I was hoping for some practical experience and advice for tapping into the human cloud. Obviously this book/ product was an attempt to just publish something / anything to see if it could be done. As much as I could dredge thru it was whining about being overlooked and mistreated in traditional jobs by people who were obviously not as smart and talented and gifted as the author. If their intent was just 4 hours of whining, they at least cast the perfect narrator.
