Yeah, you might be right, but I'll still say two more things. First, capitalism is three centuries old, before that we had a mixed economy (artisans, guilds, peasantry and the main status was owning land as gentry) and second, books are only the latest (sort of) thing to have computerized reproduction. This trend will continue to production in coming years with things like 3d printers becoming usable. So really, where information can be copied with no cost and material and production costs are minimal, where do we go to work to get money? .. of course you could be right that "some won't" make a living, but I'd rather not get all gloomy about this.
