"60 Minutes" Features Authors of "Race Against the Machine"

Intrigued by this week's "60 Minutes" story on the rise of robots? And their takeover of human jobs? 

Check out our in-depth interview with two of CBS' featured authors, Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson. McAfee and Brynjolfsson, who penned "Race Against the Machine," argue that an increasing reliance on robots allows companies to increase profits without increasing their workforce, fueling America's - and the world's - growing inequality.

In a fascinating discussion last year, the two talked to Kara about the amazing strides robots have made, and why even white-collar workers should worry about their jobs.
