I cannot recommend enough that you take the time out of your day to read the story and consider the implications since I see things ultimately once they get started in earnest moving a bit faster than the story has them moving. Except the sci-fi garbage ending. (Besides if you read the first chapter or two you already got the important part, the rest is really just if you want to see how it ends.)
Anyway the cliff notes is how will society adapt when we actually start getting robots involved in a lot of the day to day jobs and how to a very real extent there is no way to educate yourself enough to evade it. In the story the middle managment is the first thing to go because they eat up a fairly large amount of money and don't serve a function that a well written program would simply do better. Eventually however even high end jobs like surgeons lose their jobs because in the end surgury is a mechanical job that can be broken down into steps. As more and more people go unemployed they are eventually shipped to a single facility. I don't want to spoil for anybody who might read it so I won't go into any more detail here other than to say aside from the timeline is off I honestly can easily see this or a similar scenario coming about and coming about quickly and probably without the magical happy ending.
