This book is a tour de force. Adam Grant New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take A revolutionary new history of humankind through the prism of work by leading anthropologist James Suzman Work defines who we are. It determines our status and dictates how where and with whom we spend most of our time. It mediates our selfworth and molds our values. But are we hardwired to work as hard as we do Did our Stone Age ancestors also live to work and work to live And what might a world where work plays a far less important role look like To answer these questions James Suzman charts a grand history of work from the origins of life on Earth to our ever more automated present challenging some of our deepest assumptions about who we are. Drawing insights from anthropology archaeology evolutionary biology zoology physics and economics he shows that while we have evolved to find joy meaning and purpose in work for most of human history our ancestors worked far less and thought very differently about work than we do now. He demonstrates how our contemporary culture of work has its roots in the agricultural revolution ten thousand years ago. Our sense of what it is to be human was transformed by the transition from foraging to food production and later our migration to cities. Since then our relationships with one another and with our environments and even our sense of the passage of time have not been the same. Arguing that we are in the midst of a similarly transformative point in history Suzman shows how automation might revolutionize our relationship with work and in doing so usher in a more sustainable and equitable future for our world and ourselves. show more
