Chapter 1. Post-work, post-capitalism, post-what? An introduction -- Chapter 2. Futures past and present: on automation -- Chapter 3. The post-work prospectus: on labour -- Chapter 4. Productivist mandates: on value -- Chapter 5. Pennies from heaven: on money -- Chapter 6. Basic income in one country: on the state -- Chapter 7. Liquidating labour struggles? On social reproduction -- Chapter 8. Hope and prefigurative translation: on utopia.

This book mounts a forceful critique of fashionable thinking on the possibility of a post-work, post-capitalist society achieved through automation, a basic income and the reduction of working hours to zero, suggesting this popular utopia is nothing of the sort.
