(De)Automating the Future: Marxist Perspectives on Capitalism and Technology
$178.38
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.
