Understanding the Digital World series we have formed under the roof of Atlas Publishing Lab is to talk to people working and producing in different fields on today's knowledge, discussions and problems. We aim to make room for thinking in this digital, accelerating, and unfocused world where we feel like we are always lagging in something. By thinking with the people we interview in this series, we form a series of dialogues about changing habits, technologies, societies, power relations, relations of production, and changing humans.
Work, Business and Digital Labor
Tim Leberecht & Eda Çaça

We interviewed Tim Leberecht, author, entrepreneur, and co-founder of House of Beautiful Business, under the title "Work, Business and Digital Labor". From the changes in business life to entrepreneurship, from the potential of open-source, decentralized platforms like Mastodon to the pitfalls of Web3, he talked about many topics affecting the future of business and the notion of work.
