Read up on the economics of early hunter gatherer societies. Read up on the lives of many of the rich and successful. They'll be awfully relevant as the robots take over. Executive summary though: people do stuff given the chance because it's what humans are. There are many super rich people who don't just sit and watch TV. A large amount of free software is written by people who aren't paid to do it but who do it for "fun". Hunter/gatherers made stuff that had no functional purpose because they had lots of spare time to just enjoy life (if your environment supports it then it's way more time efficient than agriculture).
