Platform Socialism sets out an alternative vision and concrete proposals for a digital economy that expands our freedom. Powerful tech companies now own the digital infrastructure of twenty-first century social life. Masquerading as global community builders, these companies have developed sophisticated new techniques for extracting wealth from their users. James Muldoon shows how grassroots communities and transnational social movements can take back control from Big Tech. He reframes the technology debate and proposes a host of new ideas, from the local to the international, for how we can reclaim the emancipatory possibilities of digital platforms. Drawing on sources from forgotten histories to contemporary prototypes, he proposes an alternative system and charts a roadmap for how we can get there.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 215mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 15mmAuthor: James MuldoonGenre: Business & FinanceItem Weight: 203gTopic: Social Sciences, Law & Politics, Computing & Internet, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
