Everyone can do Nothing

A title we wished to read, or an issue we would like to see discussed is announced in the imagined book cover.  What we see in marketing and corporate campaigns and press when speaking of jobs and work is only tied to competitive business trends,– it is about working harder, better and more. In the opposite direction, "Everyone can do Nothing” proposes to stop working and think about one's own life without work. In any way, in a close future there is nothing to do, - less jobs, more dismissal, for more qualified people, faster technologies and more automatization. Under these circumstances, the pressure for work, which falls as responsibility of the individual, becomes a collective issue, we may do nothing, and we may do nothing about it.
