Oxford Fabian Society presents ‘The Future of Work’

What is work? How will digital technology transform the economy and the workforce? And how should progressive politics respond to technological change?

This event will bring together Joanna Biggs, author of All Day Long: A Portrait of Britain at Work and Nick Srnicek, co-author of Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and World Without Work to look at the present and future of work, technology, and politics.

All very welcome. A drinks reception will follow the event.
