    Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work

A major new manifesto for a high-tech future free from work
Despite the profound crisis of capitalism and the mass mobilizations of
people around the world in response, there has been no successful
contestation of neoliberalism’s hegemony. /Inventing the Future/ is a
major new manifesto that argues for a novel set of alternatives for the
future—alternatives which seek to rekindle a popular modernity. Against
the confused understanding of the high-tech and neoliberal world by both
the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and
future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed. Instead
of running from a complex future, the authors envisage a post-capitalist
economy is capable of advancing living standards, liberating humanity
from work and developing technologies which free us from biological and
environmental constraints.

    “Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams' project dares to propose a
    different way of thinking and acting. Given the fizzling of the
    Occupy moment, a radical rethinking of the anarchic approach is
    badly needed but just not happening. This book could do a lot of
    work in getting that rethink going.”

    – Doug Henwood, author of /Wall Street/

    “The Left has lost its grip on the future. In retreat from
    technological modernity, too many leftists have fled to the local,
    the organic and the spontaneous. /Inventing the Future/ shows why
    these strategies are misguided, and offers a vision of how left-wing
    politics can be rebuilt for the 21st century.”

    – Mark Fisher, author of /Capitalist Realism: Is there no Alternative?/
