  • More about (De)Automating the Future: Marxist Perspectives on Capitalism and Technology

(De)Automating the Future presents a wide-ranging investigation into automation’s 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 book’s contributors 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.
