Lisbeth

A collection of short, speculative fiction from rank-and-file workers at Amazon…

What will the world look like after Amazon?

We asked the corporation’s workers…

With over 1.6-million employees, Amazon is one of the largest ever corporate empires.

But while the company tells a utopian story about its gifts to the world, its workers pay the price, toiling in dystopian conditions of overwork, insecurity and relentless surveillance.

 

As workers’ movements and community groups around the world rise to challenge Amazon’s power, the nine stories in this book, written by rank-and-file Amazon workers, speculate on what the future holds for people and the planet.

Join us on Sunday, September 26 at LISBETH (Bergstr. 29, 10115 Berlin) for the Berlin launch of THE WORLD AFTER AMAZON.

The evening will feature readings from the book with editor Max Haiven and a panel discussion, with guests TBA
