In 1995 nobody was an Uber driver, an Airbnb host or an influencer. We read the scientists, analysts and futurists, then ask science fiction what comes next.
These jobs don't come out of a spreadsheet. They are informed imagination: real signals, remixed with science fiction and a bit of creative thinking. Every job shows its sources, so you can see where the facts end and the imagination begins.
Pick your current job. We show you the future jobs that grow out of the skills you already have.
Every dot is a job. The closer to the centre, the sooner it arrives. Speed up a technology and watch the jobs move. Tap a dot to read its story.
How fast will each technology move? Your guess changes when the jobs arrive.
Each one is built from real signals and a piece of science fiction. Sorted by arrival.
Every Monday the radar scans the week's news, research and fiction, adds new jobs and moves old ones closer or further away.
Every week someone says the machines are coming for our jobs. Some tasks will go, that's true. But every big shift in history also created work nobody could imagine before it happened.
Printing press → editors, publishers, booksellers
Electricity → electricians, engineers, radio hosts
Internet → web designers, app developers, Uber drivers, Airbnb hosts, influencers
AI, robots, space, biotech → ?
This radar is my attempt to fill in that question mark. I read what scientists, analysts and futurists say, mix it with the best science fiction, and ask one simple thing: what new jobs could this create?
Some of these jobs will happen. Some won't. Some will look completely different. That's fine. The point is not to be right. The point is to look at the future with curiosity instead of fear, because every change, however big, also opens doors.
Not career advice. Not a crystal ball. Just a guy from the internet who reads too much sci-fi and believes in people.
Facts and forecasts: robot prices, robotaxi rides, analyst reports, scientists and founders.
Science fiction already rehearsed these futures. We look at who works in them and what they do all day.
The second-order question: if every car drives itself, what happens on the motorway? Whoever solves it has the new job.
Arrival year from the evidence, confidence from how many independent sources point the same way.
