headline: We Are Not Machines by Sarah O’Connor review – can dignity at work survive the tech revolution?
dek: It’s never been easy to land and keep a decent job. But it feels like it’s getting harder. In June, the number of job vacancies in the UK fell to a five-year low; headlines warn of a looming AI-employment shock. What might the future of work look like – and who or what will shape its terms? In her new book, Sarah O’Connor goes looking for answers in the modern collision of artificial intelligence, automation, and human labour. This clash between human and machine – and the fight to secure decent working conditions

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0092 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
