We are living in the age of imagination and communication. More than ever before, peoples' work requires them to think and talk. This book is about the new ways time is experienced and organised in post-industrial workplaces. Aileen O'Carroll argues that the key feature of working time within knowledge, and other workplaces, is unpredictability. Working Time, Knowledge Work and Post-Industrial Society uncovers the mechanisms and processes by which labour processes and political economy create and maintain a working culture of unpredictability. This is a culture that seeks to insert acceptance of unpredictability as a new 'standard' by which working, and by default, non-working lives, are organised.
