But however ‘immaterial’ their labour processes, workers still have bodies that become exhausted and require feeding and housing in the offline economy. This collection takes a critical look at how online work can be theorised and categorised (including revisiting concepts of ‘deskilling’ developed in the 1970s). Drawing on in-depth empirical research in Europe, Latin America and North America it also analyses how the development of online work has meshed with broader trends in organisational restructuring to erode traditional employment norms, time structures and models of behaviour at work, placing stresses on daily life and raising new contradictions in the real world. *Contents* Working online, living
