About This Audiobook
Remote makes the case for distributed work before remote work became common practice. 37signals founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson argue that the default assumption — that good work requires physical proximity — is historically contingent rather than logically necessary. Drawing on their own experience building a fully remote company, they address objections from employers and employees alike, and outline what makes distributed work succeed or fail at the level of culture and expectation.
Rebecca Lowman narrates with the crisp directness that suits the book's argument-by-argument structure. At just over three hours it is one of the more concise business audiobooks in a crowded genre, making it easy to complete in a single sitting. Lowman's pace matches the book's rhetorical confidence — straightforward claims made without hedging.
