After Work: A History of the Home and the Fight for Free Time

The "No Free Time" book is a groundbreaking exploration of how unpaid work in our homes has taken up an ever-increasing portion of our lives, leaving little time for rest and relaxation.

Authors Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek examine the history of domestic spaces over the past century, from running water to white goods to smart homes, and reveal how repeated efforts to reduce the burden of this work have faced barriers, challenges, and reversals.

The book offers a new possibility for the future, charting a path towards real free time for all by rethinking our living arrangements, expectations, and cities.

With an earnest appeal to reconsider why people work and how they spend their time, "No Free Time" is a must-read for anyone seeking a more fulfilling and balanced life.
