My book 'Post-work: What it is, why it matters, and how we get there' (Bloomsbury Books UK, written with Will Stronge) is out this month! Here is a mini-thread of some of the generous endorsements it has received.

A new article by myself and Will Stronge, rejecting those neoliberal, up-by-your-boot-straps narratives that equate self-reliance with moral worth.
