Nice, definitely has more bite. I'd suggest removing the commas before the 'ands', partly for grammatical accuracy but also because it'll streamline the sentence and make it less compartmentalised.

I'm not sure about 'discontinuity', mainly because it raises questions about meaning which distracts from the cleanness of the rest of the line. Would swapping it for a simple 'change' work? ie "at a time of accelerating change in society, business and our lives."

What about a shorter version?

“ The economics, sociology, and politics of work in disruptive times”

(or sthg similar)

I ran 2 Warm Data Labs (Nora Bateson) yesterday, where the ecology of crises became moe and more stark. I wonder if you're limiting yourself in only talking about economics, socioloy and politics...
