"The Many Futures of Work packs into one volume a breathtaking amount of information and data (with notably colorful tables and figures).... The book is a valuable source for academics and students who study work. It can also provide fresh ideas for consultants and labor organizers. As technology and capital continue to transform work, The Many Futures of Work provides an important reminder to stay abreast of their logics and the mechanisms used to sustain workers’ interests, whatever the future will be."—Contemporary Sociology
