Roadkill on the Information Highway : The Future of Work in Canada

Roadkill on the Information Highway: The Future of Work in Canada by J. William Pfeiffer, Ph.D., J.D., is a late-1990s Canadian nonfiction book examining how technology, globalization, and rapid workplace change were reshaping employment in Canada. Published in 1999, it reflects the concerns of the early digital age, when the “information highway” was transforming business, communication, education, and the future of work.

The book explores the challenges facing workers, employers, and communities as traditional jobs changed or disappeared and new skills became increasingly important. Its Canadian focus makes it especially interesting for readers looking at labour trends, economic change, workplace disruption, and the social impact of technology at the turn of the millennium.

A useful title for collectors of Canadian business books, labour studies, technology history, and future-of-work discussions, Roadkill on the Information Highway offers a snapshot of Canada’s workforce at a major turning point.
