Synopsis

Taking a look at the world of work, the author utilizes a range of statistics, interviews with workers, surveys from employers and employees, and his own experiences and memories, to explore why we work, how our work affects us, and what we will become as a nation of workers. This book is a humorous meditation on the nature of work and identity - with allusions to literature, economics, history, philosophy and psychology - it speaks to every employed person who has yet to understand the costs and challenges of a lifetime of labour.
