About the event
Work got you down? Sick of collapsing in an exhausted heap at the end of every day? Well, drag your tired ass down to The Scarlett Letters Bookshop, where we’ll be exploring not only what the future of work will look like, but what it should look like as well.
Join Helen Hester and Will Stronge, the authors of Post-Work: What It Is, Why It Matters and How We Get There (Bloomsbury, 2025) for an energising conversation about how to revalue, reorganise, and redistribute labour in the name of more free time for everyone!
