Entreprecariat

Mocking self-entrepreneurship and exposing the miseries of precarity, Entreprecariat by Silvio Lorusso identifies the aesthetics of productive anxiety. With a foreword by Geert Lovink and an afterword by Raffaele Alberto Ventura, the book explores a world where everyone is expected to act as an entrepreneur, regardless of instability or risk. Lorusso examines the culture of motivational rhetoric, productivity tools, and platform-based self-employment that turns life into a permanent start-up. Neither a success manual nor a celebration of innovation, Entreprecariat reveals entrepreneurialism as a coping mechanism for widespread precarity. Expanded with a new chapter, this updated edition reflects a moment when entrepreneurial ideology has become inescapable.
