People have speculated for centuries about a future without work. Today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again 【C1】______ that technology is replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by 【C2】______ . A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.

"When I come home from a hard day’ s work, I often feel 【C18】______ ," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don ’ t have to work, I might feel rather different"—perhaps different enough to throw himself 【C19】______ a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for 【C20】______ matters.
