Description

Machines Against Measures by Irene Sotiropoulou explores how digital technologies can be used to subvert capitalist systems and create new ways of production and transaction. In this book, Sotiropoulou critiques the information and communication means created for profit-making and argues that they can be repurposed for non-capitalist purposes. Sotiropoulou examines the possibilities of experimenting with quantity, measuring, machines, and digital technologies in times of capitalist restructuring and social reproduction crises. She draws on everyday examples from grassroots activity to reveal new insights into how to be inventive with available resources and reflect on the technologies truly needed. This book offers a grounded and practical vision of technology and work, based on re-defining why and how we measure what we do.
