The Cubicle's Hidden History: How We Got Trapped in Boxes
The viral "cubicle rage" video of 2007 captured what millions secretly fantasize about-smashing the walls of their office prison. This moment of rebellion speaks to a profound truth: the office has become the signature environment of modern society, transforming America into "a nation of clerks." The humble white-collar worker has proven as significant to American economic development as the factory hand. What began as small countinghouses has expanded into vast corporate landscapes that shape not just how we work, but how we think about work itself. The evolution of office spaces reflects broader shifts in American society, economics, and power dynamics. As remote work reshapes our relationship with physical workplaces, understanding this history becomes essential to imagining what comes next.
