Laura Rowley, Gig Life: Issue 1: History, Illuminated Press, Trumanburg, New York, 2021, ed. 100

front cover

A smart and timely zine that showcases a timeline of the gig economy and all the ramification that this exploitive system has for the workers toiling within it. Here's what Printed Matter (NY) says about this accordion: 

"Gig Life is a serial zine which investigates the Gig Economy: the shift to hiring of temporary workers, often part-time and lacking the benefits of a traditional salaried job.

How did the Gig Economy start and how does it affect workers? This zine series aims to answer these questions and others. We start here, in this first issue, with a timeline history of Gig Work, to visualize the events leading us to our present state."
