“I'm Outta Here! How coworking is making the office obsolete” is a book about the people and places that make up a work place revolution. From a single space in San Francisco at the beginning of 2006, coworking has grown to over 70 spaces worldwide at the end of 2008, with more appearing almost daily. Read the book and you'll see why so many talented workers have turned their backs to the office and said, “I'm outta here!”

This book explores coworking from many angles and will be of interest to anyone interested in the gig economy and the future of work. Some of the topics include: "Coworking = Space + Community," business models for coworking, the new profession of coworking community leader, how well does coworking work, and why?, the global coworking movement, the future of coworking.

This handbook gathers contributors from different disciplines of the social sciences, such as organization and management studies, sociology, anthropology and political science, to constructively discuss the kinds of transformations we need to see in coming years. These transformations concern the way we work, produce and consume but also the way in which we think about work, production and consumption. In an explicit rejection of the demand that the social sciences provide quick fixes, the contributors of this handbook discuss possible solutions in a critical and comprehensive manner and with an eye to both their environmental and societal implications. The handbook is divided into four parts: Opening up futures, Techno-economic transformations at work, Sustainable environmental transformation, and Radical democratic futures. The handbook is of interest to all critical academics interested in constructive suggestions regarding necessary societal transformations.
