We're joined this week by writer and academic Amelia Horgan, author of Lost In Work, which is published by Pluto press. We talk about the recent drama with Reddit's Anti-Work sub, and the complications of defining anti-work movements, especially in relation to white collar digital labour jobs and the work of fuelling the content economy. Amelia talks about how we might conceive of 'work' in these spaces, and why it'll be necessary for a future filled with digital assets, pumped up crypto scams and further alienation of labour from production. We also talk about the recent discourse around whether its abusive to let your kid watch Thomas the Tank Engine if you are of the belief that the trains are sentient and anthropomorphic - only to realise that the person making these claims was, once again, getting mad at Alice.
