Any sci-fi about the future of work?
"The Profession" by Isaac Asimov is one of a few. Some works of Lukyanenko such as Genome. Anything else?

Charlie Stross's Halting State & Rule 34 could be slotted into that category as well, although they can be slotted into a lot of categories: Halting State is very much about the interaction between augmented reality, trends police groupware & management policies, the gig economy as it applies to telepresence & taxi services, & the emergence of a deep state in the west; meanwhile, Rule 34 interlaces the history of anti-spam movements with AI, sexual politics, and biohacking movements.
