Didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. Might be an enlightening read for someone who thinks that any job is "meaningful" to society at large.

Occasionally dry, but with many fascinating sections, especially the final chapter. Not sure I like this author's writing style but I'm very convinced by his argument.

One of those books that perfectly puts words to a phenomenon that you can feel all around you, but wouldn’t have articulated yourself.

Bullshit Jobs argues for a reexamination of many of the jobs and careers that currently exist in today's society. He explores the conditions that lead to many of these jobs as well as offering solutions to how we might create a more just and equitable future!

The starting point of this essay was a provocative article Graeber published 10 years ago about how about 40% of us is working on bullshit jobs that are useless or purposeless.
This book goes deep into the subject adding some data, philosophy and English humor into it. I enjoyed the read very much
