In a post-work utopia, what happens to domestic labour? In their latest book, After Work: A History of the Home and the Fight for Free Time, Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek lay out how unpaid work in our homes has come to take up an ever-increasing portion of our lives. They chart the ideas of anti-housework visionaries and sketch out a path towards real free time for all –where everyone is at liberty to pursue their passions, or do nothing at all.
In partnership with Verso.
