This edited collection provides a series of accounts of workers'
local experiences that reflect the ubiquity of work's
digitalisation. Precarious gig economy workers ride bikes and drive
taxis in China and Britain; call centre workers in India experience
invasive tracking; warehouse workers discover that hidden data has
been used for layoffs; and academic researchers see their labour
obscured by a 'data foam' that does not benefit them. These cases
are couched in historical accounts of identity and selfhood
experiments seen in the Hawthorne experiments and the lineage of
automation. This book will appeal to scholars in the Sociology of
Work and Digital Labour Studies and anyone interested in learning
about monitoring and surveillance, automation, the gig economy and
the quantified self in the workplace.
