Krátky popis
We are told that the future of work will be increasingly automated.
Algorithms, processing massive amounts of information at startling
speed, will lead us to a new world of effortless labour and a
post-work utopia of ever expanding leisure. But behind the gleaming
surface stands millions of workers, often in the Global South,
manually processing data for a pittance.Recent years have seen a
boom in online crowdworking platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk
and Clickworker, and these have become an increasingly important
source of work for millions of people. And it is these badly paid
tasks, not algorithms, that make our digital lives possible. Used
to process data for everything from the mechanics of self-driving
cars to Google image search, this is an increasingly powerful part
of the new digital economy, although one hidden and rarely spoken
of.But what happens to work when it makes itself obsolete. In this
stimulating work that blends political economy, studies of
contemporary work, and speculations on the future of capitalism,
Phil Jones looks at what this often murky and hidden form of labour
looks like, and what it says about the state of global capitalism.
