Why do so many of us spend our days performing tasks that feel utterly pointless? Why has the dream of a fifteen-hour workweek been replaced by a surge of administrative "fluff" and soul-crushing bureaucracy? And why are the most socially useful jobs often the ones that pay the least?In a world increasingly obsessed with "efficiency," David Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs is a provocative and timely intervention. This work deconstructs the rise of meaningless employment, revealing how modern corporate culture prioritizes busywork over human dignity and purpose. Graeber offers a sharp, often hilarious, yet deeply unsettling critique of our economic system, challenging the very logic of the 9-to-5 and asking what it would actually mean to be free.
The location will be on the NEW premises of Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan: Kungsgatan 64, 753 41 Uppsala.
We cannot provide free electronic versions of the books any longer. Instead, we can hint to certain free online libraries like Open Slum or Library Genesis.
