London ; Brooklyn, NY : Verso, 2024. 2024. 247 pages ; 21 cm Includes bibliographical references and index. The Stakes — Algorithmic Work — Management — Technological Politics — Algorithmic Management — Refusal and Resistance — Epilogue. Across the world, algorithms are changing the nature of work. Nowhere is this clearer than in the logistics and distribution sectors, where workers are instructed, tracked and monitored by increasingly dystopian management technologies. In Cyberboss, Craig Gent takes us into workplaces where algorithms rule to excavate the politics behind the newest form of managerial power. Combining worker testimony and original research on companies such as Amazon, Uber, and Deliveroo, the cutting edge of algorithmic management technology, this book reveals the sometimes unexpected effects these new techniques have on work, workers and managers. Gent advances an alternative politics of resistance in the face of digital control. Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 26, 2024).
