 | A Techno Tinker Guide to Gig Work is part survival manual, part social anthropology. This hands-on field guide explores the modern gig economy through the lens of a digital nomad and corporate anthropologist.

Whether you’re a veteran courier or just starting your gig journey, you’ll find insights, strategies, and cautionary tales drawn from lived experience. This isn’t just about making money; it’s about reclaiming your autonomy in a world run by invisible software overlords. 237 pages. Published by Techno Tink Media, July 2025.
