Inventing the Future
Postcapitalism and a World Without Work
A major new manifesto for a high-tech future free from work
Neoliberalism isn’t working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices
that offer no respite.
Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the
right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick
Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that
expand our freedoms.
“A fascinating book about an alternative to austerity.” — Owen Jones, Guardian columnist and broadcaster.
“A powerful book: it not only shows us how the postcapitalist world of rapidly improving technology could make us free, but it also shows us how we can organise to get
there. This is a must-read.” — Paul Mason, author of Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future.
Tickets £5 from Newham Bookshop or The Wanstead Tap.
