The article discusses a viral TikTok phrase, 'I do not dream of labor,' reflecting modern workers' experiences amid increasing job pressures. Writer Caitlyn Clark highlights the strain of a tighter labor market, benefiting the wealthy at the expense of worker wellbeing. This theme is explored through the lens of the game Wanderstop, where protagonist Alta confronts her failures and transforms her understanding of labor. Initially driven by a need for success, she ultimately finds healing and fulfillment in a slower, kinder approach to work.
Wanderstop begins with prolific and successful fighter Alta failing. It's her first major failure - something she vowed would never happen to her.
Alta trades one type of labor for another: one that's more caring, slow, and, yes, healing.
