Description

Life as a gig economy worker is a complex and often contradictory experience. Callum Cant's account of his time working for Deliveroo reveals a world of exploitation and conflict, where algorithms and profit margins take precedence over workers' rights. However, Cant also shows how workers are resisting and fighting back, forming a transnational network of encrypted chats and informal groups that are driving change. Cant's book provides a compelling first-hand account of the struggles faced by workers in platform capitalism, and offers a nuanced analysis of the class struggle that is emerging. By exploring the tensions between individual freedom and collective action, Cant sheds light on a new generation of working-class militants who are taking back control. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the gig economy and the struggles of workers in the modern economy.
