The Gig Is Up
”The Gig Is Up” uncovers the real costs of the platform economy through the lives of workers from around the world for companies including Uber, Amazon and Deliveroo. From delivering food and driving ride shares to tagging images for AI, millions of people around the world are finding work task by task online. And yet the stories of the workers behind this tech revolution have gone largely neglected. Through an engaging global cast of characters, ” The Gig Is Up” reveals how the magic of technology we are being sold might not be magic at all.
