They famously shuttle coffee in a thousand magazine offices legislative backrooms and Hollywood studios but they also deliver aid in Afghanistan map the human genome and pick up garbage. Intern Nation is the first expos of the exploitative world of internships. In this witty astonishing and serious investigative work Ross Perlin profiles fellow interns talks to academics and professionals about what unleashed this phenomenon and explains why the intern boom is perverting workplace practices around the world.
