Co-working spaces have become an innovative way to work away from a central office without necessarily being alone at home.

Co-working spaces have been growing in all the world’s major cities for 15 years. But what makes them so popular? Why and when did they appear? Who are their members?
New technologies such as artificial intelligence and robots are leading employers to rethink the way they work.

On 9 August 2005, a certain Brad Neuberg created the very first Coworking space in San Francisco, located within the walls of Spiral Muse, a feminist collective. Neuberg had friends at Spiral Muse and shared his idea with one of them, Elana Auerbach. She agreed the use of the Spiral Muse space twice a week for a total of $300 per month allowing Brad to benefit from all the profits made beyond.
