Sergio reviewed Augmented Exploitation by Jamie Woodcock
Review of 'Augmented Exploitation' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A series of interconnected articles by several contributors on the adoption and implementation of digital technologies that enable automated, algorithmic control over workers and the effect they have on labor politics and workers' experiences.
Despite being a series of articles by different authors it's assembled in a cohesive way, the articles are both clear and comprehensive, and the focus on workers' experiences is very helpful. It does veer toward gig delivery drivers in the latter half of the book, but it's understandable given how these services are at the forefront when it comes to implementing these technologies (for better or worse, most of the times the latter).
