- More about The Double Shift: Spinoza and Marx on the Politics of Work
People continue to work hard, do overtime, and learn to hustle despite the declining rewards and increasing demands of work, often treating wage slavery as a form of liberation. The Double Shift explores this phenomenon by examining contemporary ideologies, the culture of Silicon Valley, and popular media to argue for a transformation of our collective imagination and attachment to work.

Even as the rewards of work decline and its demands on us increase, many people double-down on their commitment to wage slavery - working harder, doing overtime, and learning to hustle. To paraphrase Spinoza, why do people fight to be exploited as if it were liberation?
To find the answer, The Double Shift turns to the intersection of Marx and Spinoza and examines contemporary ideologies and the modern phenomena of work-motivational meetings at Apple Stores, the culture of Silicon Valley, as well as film and television, from Office Space to Better Call Saul, to argue for the transformation of our collective imagination and attachment to work.
