Abstract

Today, assumptions of a postcapitalist horizon with automation at its centre dominate much radical critique. But what will be the real character of the changing world of work? Is the technological shift as profound as its prophets proclaim? And what will the social cost be if they are proven right? Is the intellectual dominance of a certain vision of the future blocking any attempt to create other ones? How do we get past the current preoccupation with a singular future of work focused on technology and production, to plural futures of work focused on politics and organisation? These are the questions Futures of Work sets out to debate.
