Description
Entrepreneur or precarious worker? These are the terms of a cognitive dissonance that turns everyone's life into a shaky project in perennial start-up phase. Silvio Lorusso guides us through the entreprecariat, a world where change is natural and healthy, whatever it may bring. A world populated by motivational posters, productivity tools, mobile offices and self-help techniques. A world in which a mix of entrepreneurial ideology and widespread precarity is what regulates professional social media, online marketplaces for self-employment and crowdfunding platforms for personal needs. The result? A life in permanent beta, with sometimes tragic implications.
With a foreword by Geert Lovink and an afterword by Raffaele Alberto Ventura.
"A compelling and relentless j'accuse: debunking the social and political myths that push an increasing number of persons to perform in the entrepreneurship circus - with no safety nets. " Antonio Casilli, author of En attendant les robots, 2019
