Recenzje

Left to Our Own Devices is a highly accessible and thought-provoking book that sits nicely alongside other recent contributions that unfold socio-digital inequalities through a meso-level or middle-range theorization...This book therefore paves the way for future research on comparative labor, technology, and inequality studies in variegated socio-economic contexts, as well as cross-national juxtapositions that are still relatively underexplored in the literature. It is undoubtedly a relevant material for anyone interested in socio-digital inequalities, 'the present' of work, as well as the possible future of work life with dignity, autonomy, and self-worth.
