#248 "After Work": A manifesto for the abolition of housework hell

Our homes are full of helpful gadgets, but how come tech isn't
blessing us with more free time? The family is supposed to be a
space of rest, but why does it often feel like a place of endless
housework drudgery? In their book "After Work" Helen Hester and
Nick Srnicek examine how unpaid work in our homes has come to take
up an increasing portion of our lives and argue for a fight against
housework. Nick joins Dissens to talk about the history of the
home, the failed promise of labour-saving technology and how the
socialization of care would enable a future with less work for all.
