Summary: Jeremy Seabrook is Britain's most powerful and passionate writer on the condition of modem society. His incisive anatomy of the nature of leisure today shows how the leisure society evolved as workers became liberated from the rigours of industrial manufacture but imposes rigours of its own on those who service it - the croupier, the waiter, the nanny. As always in Seabrook's work, the focus is on the human dimension, and his descriptions of how the quest for leisure affects both those who seek it and those who provide it make for compelling and disturbing reading.
