HUMANS AND MACHINES AT WORK GEBUNDEN

This edited collection provides a series of accounts of workers¿ local experiences that reflect
the ubiquity of work¿s digitalisation. Precarious gig economy workers ride bikes and drive
taxis in China and Britain  call centre workers in India experience invasive tracking 
warehouse workers discover that hidden data has been used for layoffs  and academic researchers
see their labour obscured by a ¿data foam¿ that does not benefit them. These cases are couched
in historical accounts of identity and selfhood experiments seen in the Hawthorne experiments
and the lineage of automation. This book will appeal to scholars in the Sociology of Work and
Digital Labour Studies and anyone interested in learning about monitoring and surveillance 
automation  the gig economy and the quantified self in the workplace.
