Bullshit Job: n. A bullshit job is a form of paid employment that is so utterly pointless, superfluous or harmful that even the employee themselves cannot justify its existence.
Somewhere between a one-man show and a lively, gestural talk, *Bullshit Jobs* features David Graeber speaking to us, in his dynamic and colourful language, about the ‘bullshit jobs’ he himself has conceptualised, drawing on numerous hilarious videos of dozens of employees testifying to the absurdity of their work.

“Every morning, when we get up, we collectively create a world; yet which one of us, if it were up to them alone, would choose to create the world we have?”
(BULLSHIT JOBS, p. 394)
