Praise for CYBER-PROLETARIAT:

‘/Cyber-Proletariat /tracks the eddies and flows of the perfect storm
that is contemporary capitalism. This panoramic work reveals the
relentless force of material destruction and brutal violence concealed
by the sleek surfaces of digital culture’ – Benjamin Noys, Professor of
Critical Theory, University of Chichester and author of /Malign
Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism/

-----------------

Coltan mines in the Congo; electronics factories in China; devastated
neighbourhoods in Detroit. /Cyber-Proletariat/ shows us the dark-side of
the information revolution; an unsparing analysis of class power and
computerisation.

Nick Dyer-Witheford reveals how technology facilitates growing
polarisation between wealthy elites and precarious workers. He 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.

/Cyber-Proletariat/brings heterodox Marxist analysis to bear on modern
technological developments. The result will be indispensable to social
theorists and hacktivists alike and essential reading for anyone who
wants to understand how Silicon Valley shapes the way we live today.
