"kicks serious arse... it's wonderful to see a book that really has something to say"
Tansy Rayner Roberts

"a good mix of light and shade... it’s worth it — there’s a lot of local talent contained within these pages, and it’s good to see them tackling the serious issues presented here"
Simon Petrie, ASiF

"a strong and diverse collection"
Andrew Macrae, Overland

Recent changes to our industrial landscape have seen the end of a system that was unique to Australia. Whether the new rules will safeguard Australia's future in a competitive world, or forever entrench unfairness in our society, it's fair to say that the Australian workplace will never be the same.

In this anthology, Australia's finest speculative writers imagine what the future holds for the Australian worker.

The future of work is here.
