Synopsis
Interns. They famously shuttle coffee in a thousand newsrooms, MPs offices, and film sets, but they also deliver aid in Afghanistan, design high-end fashions, and build the human genome. They are of all ages, and their numbers are growing fast in an increasingly bleak economic landscape for young people. A huge and increasing number of internships are illegal under minimum wage law and this mass exploitation saves companies millions each year. Interns enjoy no workplace protections and no standing in courts of law let alone luxuries such as a living wage. Ross Perlin, a self-confessed intern survivor, has written the first exposé of the brave new world of unpaid work. In this witty, astonishing, and serious investigative work, Perlin takes the reader inside both boutique nonprofits and megacorporations such as Disney. He unmasks a grotesque internship industry where coveted, unpaid placements are auctioned off and universities are complicit in exploiting student labour. He profiles fellow interns, talks to historians about what unleashed this phenomenon, and explains why the intern boom is perverting workplace practices in locations all around the world. Thought-provoking, insightful, and humorous, Intern Nation is an urgent call to overturn the latest racket in unpaid work.

Intern Nation The first no-holds-barred expose of the exploitative and divisive world of internships.
Review
This book is thought-provoking and at times jawdropping - almost a companion volume to Naomi Klein's celebrated 2000 expose of modern sweatshops, No Logo. --Andy Beckett, Guardian
A compelling investigation of a trend that threatens to destroy what's left of the ordered world of training, hard work and fair compensation ... Full of restrained force and wit, this is a valuable book on a subject that demands attention. --Anna Winter, Observer
An eye-opening, welcome expose of this rapidly expanding sector of the workforce. --Robert Collins, Sunday Times
