This book is about the rise of digital labor. Companies like Uber, 99Designs, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and CrowdFlower promise autonomy, choice, and flexibility. One of network culture's toughest critics, Trebor Scholz chronicles the work of the two million workers in the crowdsourcing industry, and the free labor on sites like Facebook, to take these myths apart. In this rich, accessible, and provocative book, Scholz exposes the uncaring reality of contingent digital work, which is thriving at the expense of employment and worker rights.
