Shows how the emergence of the knowledge-based economy has resulted in a decline in the traditional career-based approach to working life. Examines the development of new forms of working life: a 'wired' (fast, globally networked, project-centred) form of productivity which is emerging in high-tech and media centres and entrepreneurship. Discusses the implications for individuals and communities and considers how public policies can best respond to these changes.
