As remote working becomes the norm rather than the exception for many office workers around the globe, The Nowhere Office proposes a radical new way of thinking about work both now and in the future.

Offering a strategic and practical guide to negotiating this pivotal moment in the history of work, The Nowhere Office addresses the problems which beset work – the endemic stagnant productivity and crisis of stress which predate the pandemic – and the new challenges of remote working.

The book explores repurposing offices for more creative interaction, managing work-from-home teams, and satisfying the demand for more purposeful work with greater work/life balance.

Drawing on history, cutting-edge research, and extensive interviews, Julia Hobsbawm argues persuasively that now is the time to develop something better, more meaningful, and, crucially, more workable.
