Join Dr. Nick Dyer-Witheford, professor of Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario for a public lecture based on his new book, Cyberproletariat: Global labour in the digital vortex. In this talk Nick will discuss the dark side of the information revolution, through his unsparing analysis of class power and computerisation. He reveals how technology facilitates growing polarization between wealthy elites and precarious workers and how class dominates everything from expanding online surveillance to intensifying information technology within radical movements. The result is a book indispensable to social theorists and hacktivists alike and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how Silicon Valley shapes the way we live.
