Xerox (NYSE: XRX) has always focused on innovating the way the
world communicates, connects and works. Today, that means
delivering breakthrough experiences that allow people to move
freely between their physical and digital worlds. This project
captures that spirit in a creative, mainstream way.
Xerox technology, software and apps are helping the contributors
collaborate throughout the project – whether it’s translating
languages using the Xerox Easy Translator Service app, voice
recognition technology or scanning and sharing their work in the
cloud.
“We are at the heart of the changes happening in the modern
workplace,” said Jeff Jacobson, chief executive officer, Xerox. “No
matter if you are an author penning pages, a salesperson prepping
for a customer visit or a small business owner looking to expand,
people need to work seamlessly wherever they are. This project
brings those connections to life.”
As part of the project, Xerox is aiding global literacy through
donations to 92nd Street Y and Worldreader.
The project has been in collaboration with 92nd Street Y, a
world-class nonprofit community and cultural center that provided
an unparalleled lineup of authors and artists, as well as the
editing for production of the finished book. 92nd Street Y forges
deep connections between readers and writers all over the world
through their global literacy outreach programs, digital festivals,
online seminars and livestream events.
“What a thrilling opportunity to commission the brilliant
writers who grace our storied stage to explore questions of work
today and together create our very own modern workplace in the
process,” said Bernard Schwartz, director of 92nd Street Y’s
Unterberg Poetry Center.
Worldreader, a global nonprofit organization, shares Xerox’s
belief in the transformative potential of technology. It champions
digital reading in underserved communities by creating a world
where everyone can be a reader, empowering over 500,000 children
and families in 50 countries to read from its free digital library
every month.
The book will be released internationally as a free eBook in
English in late October. Beginning Sept. 19, the French and Latin
American Spanish versions of the site will be launched, for a
global program rollout to 22 countries.

The project was developed with Xerox’s partner Y&R New York,
