There are bitcoins and bubbles and self-driving cars. We swipe right and share more than we own. Algorithms are our boss. And if you still hold a traditional job - one that comes with a permanent contract, paid leave and a business card that makes sense to our mums - you're a dying species, adrift in an expanding universe of short-term gigs and freelance work. We're trying to go with the flow. But the truth is: we're all over the place, unsure about the future. Unlike our parents we have no clear idea on how to make it to retirement. It's like our lives have turned liquid. We are the 'Flow Generation'. The old paths of doing things are crumbling. How can we stay afloat in a world where standard full-time work is disappearing? Will our degrees still be relevant in 10 years? Will we ever be able to afford a house? Get a pension? Live happily ever after? This book is for anyone looking for a smart and engaging read to cut through the confusing shifts of our times. A book full of real-life people stories, peppered with a pinch of philosophy. A book that will leave you uplifted and empowered. Because the future is better than you may think."--Back cover.
