'This volume offers a multidisciplinary and global perspective on the many forms and functions of creative work and creative workers. Moreover, the work delves deeply into the technological innovations that are transforming creative work and the careers of creative workers. A key insight is how communication technologies are promoting spatially disaggregated collaborations amongst creative and non-creative work participants. These findings offer unique insights into how creative work practices may be applicable to a wider scope of employment disrupted by the global COVID pandemic.' -- Robert DeFillippi, Suffolk University, US 'The Future of Creative Work is a comprehensive exploration of issues that so many of us think about. The book looks into all the corners of creative work, old and new. In doing this, it considers changing technology, changing modes of work, and the production of social, cultural and economic value through creative work. 3D printers, robots and AI, teaching and learning in the arts like dance, the effects of casualisation and nomadism in the creative economy, and questions about if creativity future-proofs students and workers are all important matters considered in the book. It is a perfect book for this time.' -- David Rooney, Macquarie University, Australia 'The outstanding set of contributors to this book provide a state of the art analysis of the changing world of creative work. The book covers the gap between the rhetoric and reality of creative work and shows how technological change is affecting how institutions, regulations, motivations and identities that shape and enable creative work are changing. This is a rich, timely and thoughtful collection which is a must read for those researching this field.' -- Adrian Wilkinson, Griffith University, Australia
