Work

A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots

James Suzman

Discover the grand history of work and its impact on humankind in this revolutionary new book by leading anthropologist James Suzman. From the origins of life on Earth to our automated present, Suzman challenges our assumptions about work and how it defines our identity, relationships, and values. Drawing insights from various fields, he explores the transition from foraging to food production and the impact it had on humanity. Suzman argues that we are at a transformative point in history and that automation could lead to a more sustainable and equitable future.
