What does the future hold for work in our new age of crisis? How do we make sure that the uncertain future into which we are heading is heavenly and not hellish? How can we take the pleasures of work with us and eliminate the pains?

The answer: we need a post-work vision.

Questioning the received wisdom that work is good for you, that you are what you do and that 'any job is a good job', Post-work offers a new challenge to the work-centred society. This timely book provides a vital introduction to the post-work debate - one of the most exciting political and theoretical currents of recent years. It explores not only what the future of work will be like, but more importantly what the future of work should be like.

Helen Hester is Associate Professor of Media and Communication at the University of West London, UK. She is author of Beyond Explicit: Pornography and the Displacement of Sex (2014), Xenofeminism (2018), and After Work: The Politics of Free Time (2020, with Nick Srnicek). Will Stronge is co-founder and director of Autonomy, a think tank focused on the future of work. He is also a Researcher in Politics and Philosophy at the University of Brighton, UK and editor of Georges Batailles and Contemporary Thought (Bloomsbury, 2017).
