This collection of essays by both established veterans of the field and new voices is a refreshingly sober materialist reflection on recent technological developments within capitalist production. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It covers a broad range of digital aspects now proliferating across our work and lives, including chapters on the digitalization of agriculture, robotics in the factory and the labor process on crowdworking platforms. It looks to how 20th century Marxist predictions of the 'workerless factory' are, or are not, coming true, and how 'Platform Capitalism' should be understood and critiqued. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through rich empirical, theoretical and historical material, this book is necessary reading for those wanting a clear overview of our digital world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florian Butollo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745344372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745344379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.35w x 1.02d","brand":"Florian Butollo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994693599487,"sku":"9780745344379","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_050a395f-4b7c-4974-918f-74bfb5b304f7.jpg?v=1683331638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marx-and-the-robots-florian-butollo-9780745344379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
