-----------------


 Praise for CYBER-PROLETARIAT:

‘*Cyber-Proletariat *tracks the eddies and flows of the perfect storm that
is contemporary capitalism. This panoramic work reveals the relentless
force of material destruction and brutal violence concealed by the sleek
surfaces of digital culture’ – Benjamin Noys, Professor of Critical Theory,
University of Chichester and author of *Malign Velocities: Accelerationism
and Capitalism*


 -----------------

Coltan mines in the Congo; electronics factories in China; devastated
neighbourhoods in Detroit. *Cyber-Proletariat* shows us the dark-side of
the information revolution; an unsparing analysis of class power and
computerisation.

Nick Dyer-Witheford reveals how technology facilitates growing polarisation
between wealthy elites and precarious workers. He reveals the class
domination behind everything from expanding online surveillance to
intensifying robotisation. At the same time he looks at possibilities for
information technology within radical movements; contemporary struggles are
cast in the blue glow of the computer screen.

*Cyber-Proletariat* brings heterodox Marxist analysis to bear on modern
technological developments. The result will be indispensable to social
theorists and hacktivists alike and essential reading for anyone who wants
to understand how Silicon Valley shapes the way we live today.
