""Develops a sophisticated approach that explores the ongoing interdependencies between pasts, presents and futures of work as these play out at the intersection of technological advancements, geopolitical realignments and evolving worker demands. In doing so, this book opens-up rather than closes-down the future of work - both as a topic for research and an opportunity for contestation."" Professor Susan Halford, University of Bristol ""A rich, insightful and provocative examination of disruptive histories and futures of work. The interdisciplinary, international approaches challenge established boundaries of analysis and explanation. Emerging working practices, differentiated experiences, global political challenges and environmental concerns shape the kaleidoscopic understanding of change and the potential role for agency in that process. A welcome pleasure and provocation to read – you will learn something and it will make you think again."" Professor Jacqueline O'Reilly, ESRC Centre for Digital Futures at Work, University of Sussex “This handbook provides an innovative and valuable antidote to mainstream and strictly quantitative analyses of work and employment in the 21st century. Moving beyond technological determinism and unreflective speculation, it is critical, inter-disciplinary, theoretically rich, substantively diverse, and ultimately indispensable for scholars wishing to understand the present and future of work.” Professor Michael Samers, Department of Geography, University of Kentucky
