Contains Swearing
Are you satisfied by your job? Do you leap out of bed each morning with a song in your heart, eager to travel swiftly and painlessly to a fabulous workplace where the layout and technology are perfectly adapted to your goals and needs?
What of home life? Do you return from work each evening with time and energy to get stuck into your rewarding, creative projects? Do you have a good grasp of the sort of āhome economicsā mastered by your parentsā and grandparentsā generations?
If so, this book is not for you. If, on the other hand, your experience of the worker-consumer lifestyle is a screaming Hell of clueless, unsatisfying, underpaid, carcinogenic, insecure shambling that you never signed up for and is an affront to your years of difficult and expensive study, The Good Life for Wage Slaves might be the helpful volumeāor at least the shoulder to cry onāyouāve been waiting for. It contains swearing. Also cats.
My 2020 book, The Good Life for Wage Slaves is enjoying a bit of a renaissance. Or at least a resurgence.
As well as an unexpected uptick in online sales, it seems to be a bestseller at Aye-Aye Books, my local bookshop. They’re flying out the door. Is there something afoot?
Why not get in on the inaction? Here’s where to grab a copy. (Or here if you’re a digimon).
