On October 10, Bund-Verlag presented the anthology "Crowdwork - back to the future?" at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Christiane Benner - managing member of IG Metall - is the editor of the volume, in which authors from various fields take a critical look at the topics of crowdsourcing and the resulting new form of work - known as "crowd work" - and its implications for the future of work. Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister and his co-authors are represented here with an article in which the basics of crowdsourcing and crowd work are presented. The authors also present different forms of crowdsourcing and the current state of research on these aspects.

At the Frankfurt Book Fair, Christianne Benner and Prof. Leimeister gave an insight into the contents of the book and critically reflected on the different facets of crowd work and the possible future scenarios resulting from it in front of a large audience.
