Silvia Lorusso’s book Entreprecariat takes aim at the entrepreneurial mindset and the precarious nature of modern work. It explores a world in which everyone is expected to constantly develop themselves, increase their productivity, build a personal brand and operate like a small business – regardless of how unstable their working conditions may be. Lorusso examines motivational language, productivity tools and working via digital platforms, which turn everyday life into something akin to a permanent start-up.
The book is neither a guide to success nor a celebration of entrepreneurship. Rather, it shows how the entrepreneurial mindset has become one way of coping with uncertainty and instability. This updated edition includes a new chapter, a foreword by Geert Lovink and an afterword by Raffael Alberto Ventura.
