(De)Automating the Future

Marxist Perspectives on Capitalism and Technology

350 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Much has been written about the prospects of automation in recent years. While many have raised concerns over the threat of technological mass unemployment, others have anticipated a fully automated communist utopia which will provide material abundance to everyone. (De)Automating the Future gathers chapters that critically investigate automation's ambivalences from inter-disciplinary Marxist perspectives. The contributions raise questions about automation's affordances for postcapitalism, its transformation of manual and mental labour, and its role in the intensification of class antagonisms and exploitation.
