"An important book that gives an authoritative, up-close, fully humanized, and altogether indispensable depiction of the new American economy and our political near future. Noam Scheiber is as lucid a writer as he is rigorous a reporter—a rarity—and Mutiny is surprisingly hopeful." —Kurt Andersen, New York Times bestselling author of Evil Geniuses

“Scheiber’s deeply revealing and vibrant account of the revolt of college-educated workers is a genuine must-read in both boardrooms and union halls. Mutiny is an uncanny glimpse of our economic future and a powerful reminder that upheaval rises less often from the bottom of society than it does from the roiling, frustrated middle.” —Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author of Wildland and Age of Ambition

"With telling details and insightful analysis, the gifted journalist Noam Scheiber explains why many college-educated workers—baristas and grad students, Apple sales-clerks and TV writers—now see unions as the way to transform their precarious jobs. Anyone who wants to understand the rise of a new kind of labor movement should read this book." —Michael Kazin, author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party

"In a riveting chronicle of America’s white-collar revolt, Noam Scheiber shows that the would-be winners of America’s meritocracy have become its rebels. A new working class has emerged among the college-educated population. Nurses, teachers, baristas, and writers have come to realize that their degrees no longer guarantee economic stability, or even dignity, at work. Educated, underpaid, and disillusioned, their revolt has the potential to change our politics and our economy." —Derek Thompson, co-author of Abundance and author of On Work

"Mutiny is a must-read. It explores so many of the problems that have been puzzling all of us for the past decade: What happens when you can't get a job out of college? What is the relationship between a corporation and an employee? And what can people do about it? The book is a wonderful dive into the recent rise of unions among displaced college graduates." —Kyla Scanlon, author of In This Economy?
