Grounded in a philosophical approach that draws on the work of Aristotle, Arendt, Keynes, and others, the volume deconstructs modern work-based society, as well as mainstream institutionalized education, which the author argues have systemically alienated students from their education, authorial agency, and society itself.

“I … strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in either the future of education or the problems brought on by intelligent technology eliminating a large chunk of existing jobs without providing replacements for the displaced workers. The false hope that the newly unemployed will ‘learn to code’ is naive and out of touch … . We need to talk seriously about these things, and this book provides an informed opening for that discussion.” (J. M. Artz, Computing Reviews, December 9, 2020)
