‘Work 2.0. Nowhere to Hide’ is one of those carefully and painstakingly researched books that shake you out of your complacency and push you to take action. The first few pages alone has gotten me re-analyzing my own place in the Grand Scheme of Things, and truth be told, it wasn’t a nice sight. This book is deeply enlightening, and it brings with it that sense of utter urgency that the vital pieces of the puzzle are missing—and thankfully, those missing pieces can be found in this book.At the heart of Prokurat’s book is an increasingly pervasive reality: the changing work place, or rather, the changing way by which we earn our keep. Current and emerging technologies have enabled many of us to skip traditional employment and engage in virtual jobs. But still, there’s the rub—with vanishing reassurances of a life-long career, how do we survive when we’re no longer physically able? And that’s where this book comes in: more than just a narrative of how things were, are and are going to be, Prokurat’s book, above all else, provides a BS-free and exhaustively comprehensive “walkthrough” that guides us across the changing landscape of Work 2.0. This is the modern worker’s ‘life vest’, if you will.And then there’s Prokurat’s writing—easy to read, always spot-on, nailing the vital issues in the head, and thankfully entertaining.Overall, Prokurat’s book is very highly recommended: ‘Work 2.0. Nowhere to Hide’ can be the “secret weapon” of anyone who not only wants to survive the changing workplace, but also to excel in it. This will immensely help you figure things out and understand the changes and, most importantly, how to take full advantage of such changes. Order a copy of this today—and if you’re feeling generous, send this as a gift to your friends and loved ones, as your life and that of your friends can veritably change now. A resounding five-star rating for this one.
