In this thought-provoking episode of Spotlights, we dive deep into the question: What if work as we know it no longer existed? Imagine a world where alarm clocks, deadlines, and daily commutes are a thing of the past. Would creativity and personal passions flourish, or would society crumble under the weight of idleness?

We explore the potential impact of a workless society on everything from innovation and progress to social dynamics and personal identity.
