Description

Digital Labor examines how the Internet has transformed labour markets through a critical lens of politics, technology, and history. Internet users generate vast amounts of content daily-searching, linking, tweeting, and posting-while unknowingly exposing their deep data to corporate tracking and government surveillance. This essay collection provides a comprehensive analysis of the Internet's darker dimensions, exploring how corporations analyse and predict user behaviour, and how the traditional boundary between leisure and work has fundamentally shifted. The book challenges readers to understand the economic structures underlying digital platforms and the exploitation of user-generated content that powers modern web services.

Examines the political and technological dimensions of how user-generated content fuels corporate profit models.

Analyses surveillance practices by governments and corporations tracking Internet user behaviour and data.
