  • Beschreibung: A moving and accessible look at the intimate consequences of contemporary capitalism, 'Left to Our Own Devices' explores the ways that workers use digital technologies to navigate insecurity. Through 100 interviews with high and low-wage independent workers across the US, Julia Ticona explores the surprisingly similar 'digital hustles' that all workers use to not only find work and maintain a sense of dignity and identity, but also strengthen inequalities between workers at either end of polarized labor markets.
