If you want something a lot more recent I would look at No More Work by James Livingston. Also I would go with Kids These Days by Malcolm Harris if you want something about how the disposability of workers has impacted millennials. Here's a pretty good review of it.

Take a harmless hobby done for passion and joy, add guilt, shaming, and profit motive. Subtract joy and passion. == "Parenting" in capitalist hell.
