Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots

byJames Suzman

Work is James Suzman's historical account of a Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Work leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
