Title: Gigged : The Gig Econonomy, The End of the Job and the Future Work
Gigged goes inside Silicon Valley companies paving the way for this emerging “gig economy”. It tells the stories of the workers – from computer programmers to online comment moderators – who navigate a new wave of precarious, short-term jobs.
