AA.VV
(De)Automating the Future presents a wide-ranging investigation into automations ambivalences from an interdisciplinary Marxist perspective. 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.
The books contributors raise questions about automations affordances for postcapitalism, its transformation of manual and mental labour, and its role in the intensification of class antagonisms and exploitation.
