- Reviews -

' A brilliant, searing expose of the lies underpinning work' -- Owen Jones ' Fascinating and absorbing . . . a corrective to the widespread view that anyone can find fulfilment through their job, if they just work hard enough' -- Grace Blakeley, editor of ' Futures of Socialism' (Verso, 2020) ' Amelia Horgan is, in the words of organizer Fred Ross, a social arsonist. Her book will set your world on fire. Somewhere in our bones, we know that work is getting worse. But with this book, Horgan has provided the match and the kindling we need to burn the whole thing down' -- Sarah Jaffe, author of ' Work Won' t Love You Back' (Hurst, 2021) ' At last, a book that helps us appreciate the long history of the working class challenge to the tyranny of work that puts class struggle in the workplace firmly back on the agenda' -- John McDonnell, former Shadow Chancellor of the Labour Party ' An excellent and important book. It combines sharp political insight with nuanced analyses . . . an invaluable resource to those with an interest not just in better understanding labour and exploitation, but also in the possibilities of freedom and collective joy' -- Helen Hester, Professor of Gender, Technology and Cultural Politics at the University of West London and author of ' Xenofeminism' (Polity, 2018) ' I can' t think of a more succinct and elegant expression of what work does to us and, in turn, why it' s never been more urgent to shape our work' -- Will Stronge, Director of Research at Autonomy and author of ' Post-Work' (Bloomsbury, 2022) ' An incisive analysis of the contemporary crisis of work - and a ringing call to reimagine it' -- Amia Srinivasan, Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at All Souls College, Oxford, and author of ' The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-first Century' (Bloomsbury, 2021)
