About the Book
This volume gathers chapters that investigate automation's ambivalences from a critical Marxist perspective.Book Synopsis
Much has been written about the prospects of automation in recent years. While many have raised concerns over the threat of technological mass unemployment, others have anticipated a fully automated communist utopia which will provide material abundance to everyone. (De)Automating the Future gathers chapters that critically investigate automation's ambivalences from inter-disciplinary Marxist perspectives. The contributions raise questions about automation's affordances for postcapitalism, its transformation of manual and mental labour, and its role in the intensification of class antagonisms and exploitation.Dimensions (Overall): 9.4 Inches (H) x 6.2 Inches (W) x 1.0 Inches (D)
