_______________ 'A fascinating exploration that challenges our
basic assumptions of what work means' - Yuval Noah Harari 'There is
eminently underlinable stuff on most pages ... Fascinating' - The
Times 'One of those few books that will turn your customary ways of
thinking upside down' - Susan Cain 'Illuminating' - New Statesman
_______________ A revolutionary new history of humankind through
the prism of work, from the origins of life on Earth to our ever
more automated present The work we do brings us meaning, moulds our
values, determines our social status and dictates how we spend most
of our time. But this wasn't always the case: for 95% of our
species' history, work held a radically different importance. How,
then, did work become the central organisational principle of our
societies? How did it transform our bodies, our environments, our
views on equality and our sense of time? And why, in a time of
material abundance, are we working more than ever before?
