#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.
