More about the book

The exploration of algorithmic control over high-skilled gig workers reveals a troubling reality in online labor markets. Hatim Rahman utilizes detailed qualitative data to illustrate how algorithms create opaque systems that misrepresent workers' talents and motivations. This book not only highlights the stress and challenges faced by these workers but also offers humane solutions for them, platform leaders, and policymakers. It is a significant contribution to understanding the implications of digital labor platforms and the hidden dangers of algorithm-driven evaluations.
