Book Title: Gigged (The Gig Economy, the End of the Job and the Future of Work)

Author: Sarah Kessler

The first company I heard about was Uber. I didn’t first understand how that worked about the Gig Economy, but then gave the App a try. It was a great tool that got me from A to B when I didn’t have any alternative transportation available.

It seemed that the whole idea around having new apps in place where someone made their services available at the touch of a button was a terrific. I mean, you would be working flexible hours and would be your boss.

The book gave some great insight (through stories from real Gig-economy players) how some experienced the new economic trend. Some had great experiences, whilst others had not been as fortunate.

Also, the book gave some great understanding what was a challenge that some companies faced as a result of the economic trend.

Rating

Overall, the book is a good read for anyone that wanted to get some greater understanding what the Gig Economy entails, as well as what challenges could be faced if one wished to enter the trend. I thus want to rate it at a 4.5/5.
