The Day Work Ended

Richard Donkin

Chapter Chapter 12 in The Future of Work, 2010, pp 220-236 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It’s a wet day in late February 2059, and I’m looking out at the last withering blooms of the daffodils on our Scottish riverbank. I have just seen the biggest spring salmon—20 kilos at least, and no longer rare, jump in mid-stream. The light that filters on to the wooden desk that I made myself in craft class, is radiating through translucent energy-saving roof tiles designed to capture and convert thermal energy from the sun. A log fire is burning in the stove. I can afford the carbon offset.
