I thought this might be of interest to people who fancy reading, cause it‘s what gave me more of an explanation of antiwork than news or image posts to the subreddit did.

It‘s got loads of interesting texts on there including Bullshit Jobs by Graeber, an amazing read for anyone who has found themselves in an “easy” job where what is expected is mainly to look busy or fulfil some inane function whose use to society isn‘t clear. A job like this once made me miserable and this book changed my perspective from me being wrong, to the job being wrong.

Or Bob Black,The Abolition of Work, which has some paragraphs that solidified my idea of how a society without exploitation could look like.

It‘s also got interesting takes on life like How to Drop Out, an updated version of it anyway, which despite the title felt more like an important advice from future me, about what options I have and what to consider carefully about how I want to live my life. It already freed me of 10h of work a week by realising I don‘t need as much money as I think I do.

Other useful tags for me was nihilism, something I struggled with, but ultimately led me to absurdism and The Myth of Sisyphus, a complicated read which changed my life to feel a bit brighter.

There is more, it‘s one of my favourite resources on the internet, with shadow libraries with endless free entertainment being a close second.
