Note from the editor
More than 2.6 million Americans already work in the “on-demand economy” and that’s just the beginning. The new instant lifestyle is reshaping the future of work —which means it’s reshaping the future of all our lives. This is a new space to discuss the big issues around this strange new world: everything from inside stories of the entrepreneurs and companies stirring this momentous change, to stories from the workers who are living at the sharp end. Submit your stories by emailing us at [email protected] include anything that relates to the subject, and feature the best.
