Description: Technoprecarious, Paperback by Precarity Lab (COR), ISBN 1912685981, ISBN-13 9781912685981, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Technoprecarious advances a new analytic for tracing how precarity unfolds across disparate geographical sites and cultural practices in the age. technologies--whether apps like Uber, built on flexible labor, or platforms like Airbnb that shift accountability to users--have assisted in consolidating the wealth and influence of a small number of players. These platforms have also exacerbated increasingly insecure conditions of work and life for racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities; women; indigenous people; migrants; and peoples in the global south. At the same time, precarity has become increasingly generalized, expanding to include even the creative class and producers themselves. This collaboratively authored multigraph analyzes the role of technology in multiplying precarity. The authors use the term precarity to characterize those populations disproportionately affected by the forms of inequality and insecurity that technologies have generated despite the newaffordances and possibilities they offer. Th maps a broad range of precarity--from the placement of Palestinian Internet cables to the manufacture of electronics by Navajo women and from the production and deployment of drones on the border to the technocultural productions of Chinese makers. This project contributes to, and helps bridge, ongoing debates on precarity and networks in the fields of critical computing, postcolonial studies, visual culture, and information sciences."--
