In Automated Era, Xiong Jingchao presents a bold vision for a future "Common World" designed to replace the United Nations and prevent war through unified systems of education, military protection, and currency. Drawing from his experiences in China and the United States, he examines political division, social inequality, and the growing influence of technology on society.

The book proposes a new model of social management focused on quality education, human development, and guaranteed basic needs for all people. It explores how AI and automation could eventually replace administrative and judicial systems, creating a more efficient and peaceful global society.

Automated Era challenges readers to rethink governance, citizenship, and the future of humanity in an increasingly automated world.
