'Ground-breaking and ambitious' - Nick Srnicek, author of Platform
Capitalism Whoever controls the platforms, controls the future.
Platform Socialism sets out an alternative vision and concrete
proposals for a digital economy that expands our freedom. Powerful
tech companies now own the digital infrastructure of twenty-first
century social life. Masquerading as global community builders,
these companies have developed sophisticated new techniques for
extracting wealth from their users. James Muldoon shows how
grassroots communities and transnational social movements can take
back control from Big Tech. He reframes the technology debate and
proposes a host of new ideas, from the local to the international,
for how we can reclaim the emancipatory possibilities of digital
platforms. Drawing on sources from forgotten histories to
contemporary prototypes, he proposes an alternative system and
charts a roadmap for how we can get there.
