https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/08/virtual-reality-religion-robots-sapiens-book; This is a lovely article about how life might be when most work is taken away from human beings, to and is automated.
When people do the most mundane work and they cannot be eliminated, we tend to revere them and give them dummy work instead and convince ourselves that we need the dummy work's output.
When most work has been automated, we will create new jobs tailor made for those unemployed and unemployable and embellish those jobs as ones that are critical for society, for its morale and for its sustenance. That could be in the form of raising children, creating religion, playing or dancing. Anything that automation has not yet taken over would be a good candidate for society to "revere" and hand over to the unemployable.
