HarperNonFiction acquires LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky and author Aneesh Raman's book on AI in work
HarperNonFiction has snapped up Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI by LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer Aneesh Raman and LinkedIn’s CEO and EVP of Microsoft Office & Copilot Ryan Roslansky, exploring how to harness the power of AI in work.
Publisher Joel Simons acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from John Ash at CAA and the book will publish simultaneously with HarperCollins US on 31st March 2026.
"Work is changing for everyone, everywhere, and standing still isn’t an option," the synopsis says. "While some of us are experimenting and adapting with AI, most of us are feeling anxious and uncertain, navigating rapid change with outdated handbooks.
"Amid all the noise about AI and the future of work, Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman can see the signals that matter most: skills emerging and evolving, people pivoting and adapting, companies hiring and restructuring, and entire industries transforming."
The blurb adds: "In Open to Work, Roslansky and Raman show us how to take control of this moment with clarity in an essential guide to building confidence and achieving success in the age of AI.
"Backed by unique research and insights from LinkedIn Top Voices such as Conor Grennan, Ethan Evans, Vivienne Ming, researchers at MIT and Harvard, and leaders at companies across the world, the book shares expert perspectives across the future of work and delivers an urgent truth: change is coming. The only question is whether you harness it or let it overtake you."

Roslansky said: "This book was born from a simple but urgent question: how do we help every member of the global workforce not just survive but succeed in the age of AI? The answer, we believe, is not to predict the future, but to adapt to it – and ultimately shape it."
Raman added: "Our vision at LinkedIn is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. No matter where you live or what you do, no matter what kind of job title you hold or what kind of career trajectory you’re on, this book is for you, about you, and how nothing, not even AI, can beat you at being you."
