"Jonathan Abernathy is a self-proclaimed loser... He’s behind on his debts, has no prospects, no friends, and no ambitions. But when a government loan forgiveness program offers him a literal dream job, he thinks he’s found his big break.
If he can appear to be competent at his new job, entering the minds of middle class workers while they sleep and removing the unsavory detritus of their waking lives from their unconscious, he might have a chance at a new life. As Abernathy finds his footing in this role, reality and morality begin to warp around him. Soon, the lines between life and work, love and hate, right and wrong, even sleep and consciousness, begin to blur."
Molly McGhee, author of Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind, joins us to talk about how Capitalism is designed to keep worker's afraid, tired, and to always be thinking about work.
