But while we worry that we’re robotizing our work, what if the bigger risk is that we’re robotizing ourselves?\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen prize-winning  Financial Times  journalist Sarah O’Connor set out to investigate what was happening on the ground, she met people who weren’t necessarily losing their jobs to machines, but who felt they were losing something, nonetheless. Because the quantity of work is not the only thing at stake in times of rapid technological change. So is its quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom TV subtitle translators reduced to editing AI output to warehouse workers surrounded by robots and graduates interviewed by machines, O’Connor found stories of work becoming more intense, more lonely, less creative, less  human .\u003cbr\u003e\nBut she also investigated hopeful instances of work being made better, safer and more enjoyable – stories in which people have been able to make the machines work for them, rather than the other way around.\u003cbr\u003e\nHer reporting shows that the way our tools change our work - and ourselves - is shaped by power, design, culture, institutions and ideas. As a result, the outcome is not pre-determined but must be contested by us all.\u003cbr\u003e\nInspired by stories from nineteenth-century English cotton mills to twenty-first century Swedish mines,  We Are Not Machines  reveals how we can fight for work which is more respectful of our limits, and more worthy of our minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarah O'Connor 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54318709637488,"sku":"YSL20391","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_10265_83a6be7a0a.jpg?v=1789527838","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/de\/products\/we-are-not-machines-the-fight-for-the-future-of-work","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
