Steven Connor is professor of English and director of research at the Digital Futures Institute, King's College, London. He is the author of eighteen books.
In this book, with his inimitable flair for rooting out the phenomenological intricacies of apparently ordinary things, Steven Connor leads us on a tour of the dream factory of work, labour, toil and occupation. The result is a book of typically considerable - dare I say it - detective work that opens up the quotidian reality and enabling dreamscape of work to new understanding.' - Nathan Waddell, Associate Professor in Twentieth-Century Literature, University of Birmingham
