"Work hard, get paid." Sounds fair, right?
But for most of us, it’s a lie.
***Evening Standard’s Best Non-Fiction 2021***
'Horgan’s suggestions will appeal to anyone who has ever done a job they hated…' -The Guardian
'A brilliant, searing exposé of the lies underpinning work' - Owen Jones
'A perceptive philosophical account of what work is, what it does to us, and how we can reorganise it' - New Statesman
Written by leading political thinker featured in The Guardian, VICE, and Tribune, Amelia Horgan’s Lost in Work breaks down how work became so joyless, stressful, and broken - especially for young people. Whether it’s low pay, burnout, or feeling like you’re stuck on a treadmill going nowhere, this book helps you understand why work feels so bad - and how we can change it.
Perfect for students, first-time workers, and anyone asking: “Is this it?”, Lost in Work highlights:
• Why the system is rigged…. and who benefits
• How work harms our mental health and steals our time
• The truth about job security, hustle culture, and burnout
• Real ideas for fighting back and reclaiming control
Written by a leading political thinker featured in The Guardian, VICE, and Tribune, Lost in Work is essential reading for a generation rethinking what work should be…. and imagining something better.
Lost In Work is part of the Outspoken by Pluto series.
Platforming younger, underrepresented voices; intervening in important political issues; revealing powerful histories and giving voice to our experiences; Outspoken by Pluto is a book series unlike any other. Unravelling debates on sex ed and masculinity, feminism and class, and work and borders, this series has the answers to the questions you’re asking. These are books that dissent.
