The Pathology of Communicative Capitalism cover

This book diagnoses the social, mental and political consequences of working and economic organizations that generate value from communication. It calls for the role of communication technologies to be reimagined in order to create a healthier, fairer society.

“The pathology of communicative capitalism is timely and accessible, yet theoretically dense, drawing as it does from a wide conceptual arsenal. The book may be of use to new scholars seeking a point of entry into critical scholarship of digital labor and the sociology of contemporary work.” (Matthew Flisfeder, Information, Communication & Society, Vol. 21 (12), 2018)
