This eye-opening work delves into the gig economy as journalist James Bloodworth spends six months undercover in low-wage jobs. From an Amazon warehouse to driving for Uber, he discovers the anxieties and hopes of working-class individuals, young students, and immigrants.

Just finished @IainDale’s Why Can’t We All Get Along? book. Thoroughly recommend it. Iain is a voice of reason and moderation when both are in such short supply.      source
