The Future of Futurity cover

This non-fiction paperback, "The Future of Futurity" from Akhil Gupta & Purnima Mankekar, is due to be published 1st April 2025 by Duke University Press.

“What is it like to travel every night while staying firmly in place? What new affects and imaginaries emerge via laboring in the temporally upside-down life of an Indian call center? Purnima Mankekar and Akhil Gupta explore not only the fierce demands of such globally distributed labor but also the hopes and dreams of online workers seeking access to a radically reorganized life course. This remarkable book redefines anthropology for the twenty-first century.” -- Joseph Masco, author of * The Future of Fallout, and Other Episodes in Radioactive World-Making *
