Crisis in Perception

The New Me โ€” Alienation and Precarious Labor (Audio)


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world โ€” one book at a time.

This episode explores The New Me by Halle Butler as a systems-level analysis of precarious work, emotional alienation, and the quiet violence of economic instability.

By focusing on structural pressures rather than personal failure, the book reveals how modern labor systems exhaust identity and erode the possibility of meaningful agency.
