The Art of 'Ware: Sun Tzu's Classic Work Reinterpreted.
"If your developers had wanted to work long hours just for lots of money, they would have become lawyers. They do it for bragging rights—for the right to say, "Yeah, I helped create that product"—and for a chance to change the industry and maybe the world. It may be hubris, but then again, the world really has changed because of products created by technology developers over the last thirty to forty years—and the most dramatic changes are yet to come." (p. 27)
Nierenberg, G. I.
(1986).
The art of creative thinking.
"Probably the greatest deterrent to creative thinking is in not recognizing that...we have a problem that needs a solution. At the other extreme are the innately creative who recognize problems and enjoy the challenge and possible rewards of solving them. Most of us fall between the two extremes. We recognize the problem but are at a loss to make a creative leap that will bring a solution." (p. 159)

Automation, education, and human values.
"A fourth reason [we regard widespread automation with suspicion] lies in our inability to think of a responsible role in society which is not evaluated as a job, paid for with money, which individuals seek freely, from which they can be fired, and at which they must work or else, if not starve, they will live in humiliation and deprivation. We can look forward to a day in which the privilege of working will be open to all but under no threat of starvation." (p. 69)
