One of network culture's toughest critics, Trebor Scholz chronicles the work of workers in the "sharing economy," and the free labor on sites like Facebook, to take these myths apart. In this rich, accessible, and provocative book, Scholz exposes the uncaring reality of contingent digital work, which i ..."

"The only optician on the island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean is an ordinary man in his fifties, who used to be indifferent to the fate of the thousands of refugees landing on the coast of the Italian island. One day in the fall of 2013, the unimaginable scale of the tragedy became clear to him, and it changed him forever: as he was out boating with some friends, he encountered hundreds of men, women and children drowning in the aft ..."
"Capitalism's got a mad crush on collaboration--witness all the new business models based on "collaboration studies" and expensive corporate groupware, or the billions spent on YouTube -- but beneath all the flirtation, capitalism needs to stay in control. As long as the process of collaboration is controlled by external interests, the relationship will always be one of forced cooperation. And though it's way more challenging (for the pa ..."

"We've been acting like labor. On the other hand, the author Bob Black, the
scholar Kathi Weeks, or the anarchist CrimethInc Ex-Workers' Collective, distance
themselves from the obsession with work altogether. “The carrot is just a stick by
other means,” as Black put it.1 Their stance does not stop at a rejection of
employment; it is a rejection of the demeaning system of domination at work
altogether; it's a call to slow down the e ..."

"In an age of proliferating media and news sources, who has the power to define reality? When the dominant media declared the existence of WMDs in Iraq, did that make it a fact? Today, the "Social Web" (sometimes known as Web 2.0, groupware, or the participatory web)--epitomized by blogs, viral videos, and YouTube--creates new pathways for truths to emerge and makes possible ..."
"Daqui a trinta anos, quando enfrentaremos o fim das profissões e mais empregos serão ‘uberizados’, podemos muito bem acordar e imaginar por que não protestamos contra essas mudanças.
