• April 13, 12 p.m. (noon)

FLOATING NAKED WITH PIRANHAS (HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE WOKING AT AMAZON) is not set in the distant future, nor is it a work of science fiction. It is rooted instead in the current reality facing nearly a million blue-collar Amazon workers, both in the U.S. and abroad – a world where every minute on the job is digitized and scrutinized, and where the expected rates of productivity and “efficiency” are pushed to the outer limit.  

How does one retain one’s humanity in such a world?

How does one maintain one’s sanity?
