Description

Explore the complex relationship between technology and work with Digital Labor: The Internet as Playground and Factory. Published by Routledge, this collection of essays examines how labor markets have shifted toward the Internet through political, technological, and historical perspectives. As Internet users search, link, tweet, and post updates, they generate the content that builds the modern web. This process leaves deep data exposed to constant scrutiny. While users engage in what feels like leisure, governments and large corporations are actively listening, tracking, and analyzing user habits to predict future interests. This book provides a wide-ranging account of the dark side of the Internet. It investigates the blurring lines between free time and productive labor, offering a deep look at how our digital existence is being monitored and monetized. It is an essential read for those studying the sociology and anthropology of our digital age.
