About this product

Product Information

The digital revolution is changing the way we work. Online platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Uber connect workers and consumers directly, promising both convenience and flexibility. But convenience comes at a price. Traditional protections for workers have been denied to those selling their services in the 'gig' economy. Algorithms can discriminate and deny workers their livelihoods without chance of reply. In Humans as a Service, Jeremias Prassl cuts through the rhetoric of the sharing economy to expose the systematic exploitation of the new class of digital workers. He shows how legal reform can end the exploitation and restore worker protection for the digital age.
