"A welcome short companion to critical debates on precarity, precariousness and precarization ... Its first immediate value is that of bringing to anglophone audiences a collection of short and incisive texts that offer valuable insights into both critical debates and political practice on precarity, particularly around European networks and platforms." - Antipode "The important contribution of this thoughtful work is to let us understand finally that precarity is not a passing or episodic condition, but a new form of regulation that distinguishes this historical time." --Judith Butler, from the foreword; " "Given the brevity of State of Insecurity, Lorey impresses with the scope and depth of her engagement with the concept of precariousness and the strength of her argument." -- 3: AM Magazine
