🔮 ⚡ Battery wars, China's labor unrest, the future of platforms and work, bluffocracy, Indian food and hypocognition ++ #179

Hi,

I’m still on holiday! EV readers Nicolas Colin and Laetitia Vitaud have kindly agreed to give you an Exponential View this week.

I got to know Nicolas and Laetitia through their analysis of the future of work. Laetitia wrote one of my favourite pieces of the last couple of years, an analysis of why Taylorism can’t apply to cleaning. Nicolas is well-known for his work exploring what a new worker safety net should look like in the entrepreneurial age.

Please enjoy their Exponential View,
Azeem
