Gigged

Mehr zum Buch

Between Uber drivers and Airbnb hosts, freelance jobs are becoming an increasingly prominent part of our economy.--GIGGED goes inside the Silicon Valley companies leading the way to this emerging 'gig economy'. It tells the stories of the workers - from computer programmers to online comment moderators - who are getting by in a new wave of precarious, short-term employment. And it sketches out what tomorrow's economy might look like: one where the fortunate get to work when they want, how they want, while the rest live lives of extraordinary hardship.--It might just be the future of work for all of us
