| Summary, etc | PROFIT<br/>INNOVATION<br/>GREED<br/><br/>WELCOME TO THE GIG ECONOMY<br/><br/>Between Uber drivers and Airbnb hosts, freelance jobs are becoming an increasingly prominent part of our economy.<br/><br/>GIGGED goes inside the Silicon Valley companies leading the way to this emerging ‘gig economy’. It tells the stories of the workers – from computer programmers to online comment moderators – who are getting by in a new wave of precarious, short-term employment. And it sketches out what tomorrow’s economy might look like: one where the fortunate get to work when they want, how they want, while the rest live lives of extraordinary hardship.<br/><br/>It might just be the future of work for all of us.<br/><br/><br/>*Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award*<br/><br/>Praise for GIGGED<br/><br/>‘Well-researched and beautifully written . . . Essential reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the future of our economy and society.’ Ha-Joon Chang, author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism<br/><br/>‘Well crafted . . . a multitude of anecdotes supported by data and extensive reporting.’ Forbes<br/><br/>‘Kessler’s timely book explores the personal, corporate and societal stories behind a massive tech-driven shift away from permanent office-based employment.’ Books of the Month, Financial Times<br/><br/>‘Kessler illuminates a great divide: For people with desirable skills, the gig economy often permits a more engaging, entrepreneurial lifestyle; but for the unskilled who turn to such work out of necessity, it’s merely “the best of bad options”.’ Harvard Business Review<br/><br/>‘Sarah Kessler writes like a dream. If you want to know how work is changing and how you too must change to keep up, you must read this book.’ Dan Lyons, author of Disrupted<br/><br/> |
