A revolutionary new history of humankind through the prism of work, from the origins of life on Earth to our ever-more automated present.
The work we do brings us meaning, moulds our values, determines our social status and dictates how we spend most of our time. But this wasn't always the case: for 95 percent of our species' history, work held a radically different importance.
How, then, did work become the central organisational principle of our societies? How did it transform our bodies, our environments, our views on equality and our sense of time? And why, in a time of material abundance, are we working more than ever before?

Not quite what I expected but a good listen.

The narration is good, but the narrator seriously needs to work on his pronunciation. Not only is his pronunciation of foreign words often wincingly wrong but he even pronounces a number of English words wrongly—as if he’s reading them with dyslexia or just not paying attention by missing out (or adding) a letter here and there. (Eg Oceania, the continental region, becomes “Oceana”... etc). His pronunciation of foreign language words could easily have been corrected with a quick internet search; it’s not that he’s unable to produce the sounds. In one persistent example that spans much of the book, he pronounces the ethnic term
“Ju/‘hoansi” without the click, yet he pronounces the click correctly in another word (“n/om”), demonstrating one of his many inconsistencies. Although his tone and rhythm were good, his pronunciation errors were a continual irritation.
Narration aside, this is a highly informative and engaging book that I will enjoy listening to again.
Excellent with rich insights
