Every book Garrison (full name unknown) recommended on podcasts
Garrison appeared on an episode of Behind the Bastards to discuss anti-work history, theory, and contemporary culture. During the conversation, Garrison highlighted several seminal texts within the anti-work movement, noting that Bob Black's essay The Abolition of Work argued that no one should work because work is defined as a forced labor practice. Garrison also discussed David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, pointing out that Graeber's book was partially inspired by Black's writings. In addition to these, Garrison recommended CrimethInc.'s book Work, describing it as a strong anti-work resource that frequently gets referenced within online community subreddits. Garrison returned to CrimethInc.'s work to illustrate how society has long been promised that technological progress would soon liberate humanity from the need to toil, yet noted that this anticipated liberation has consistently failed to reduce the overall amount of labor people perform.
