用户评论
公众向的ethnography,有趣的是话题,是对emerging technologies尝试着敲敲打打的勇气,但是写着写着就沦为“故事会”式的故事合集了,作为work的定义呢?理论框架呢?normative claim感觉也要我自己猜了==略失望啊。写公众向的科技社会影响的文本是否改在理论厚度上作出多少让步呢?第一年的思考问题。
可能是我之前预期太高了,看完感觉就还好吧,也可能是因为之前做过类似的pre,所以感觉几乎都是把我已经知道的内容以Uber为例重组了一下,当然填充了很多Uber运作的细节,这本书一句话总结就是:technological totalitarianism(social aspect) is coming
The basic logic of sharing economy (of Uber): use marketing to sugarcoat labor disposability and allure more disposable labors; use consumer narrative to dodge responsibility, use algorithms management to exploit laborer
可能因为从劳工视角出发,觉得有一定局限。
从劳工角度写科技产业发展过程中的一系列问题。体系感太差了,基本上就是堆材料吧,不必看完。三星半。

It is also a book about technology ideology—the stories Uber tells us about users, and the stories we tell each other about the role of technology in our lives. It’s a tale of how a small start-up in Silicon Valley put algorithms in charge of managi
