Publisher Description: Mobile technology is now firmly situated in the operations, both formal and informal, of modern labour and workforce management. This book focuses on how the interests of corporations and governments to embrace a "new economy" have served to drive the development and uptake of mobile/ubiquitous media. Touching on topics including unpaid labour and big data, surveillance, AI, the global smartphone market, telecommuting, automation, and more, Manzerolle offers readers an astute and timely investigation into digital labour, mobile media, and political economy which may hint at the future of work. |
