An unsparing analysis of class power and computerisation,
Cyber-Proletariat shows us the dark-side of the information
revolution. From Coltan mines in the Congo; electronics factories
in China and devastated neighbourhoods in Detroit, this book
reveals how technology facilitates growing polarisation between
wealthy elites and precarious workers. Nick Dyer-Witheford reveals
the class domination behind everything from expanding online
surveillance to intensifying robotisation. At the same time, he
looks at possibilities for information technology within radical
movements; contemporary struggles are cast in the blue glow of the
computer screen. This book brings heterodox Marxist analysis to
bear on modern technological developments. This is essential
reading for anyone who wants to understand how Silicon Valley
shapes the way we live today.
