Ghost Work by Mary L. Gray
How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass
In this insightful exploration of the hidden workforce behind the digital economy, the book delves into the lives of the often-invisible workers who perform the "ghost work" that powers many of the technologies we rely on daily. These individuals, operating in the shadows of the gig economy, are responsible for tasks such as content moderation, data labeling, and other essential yet unrecognized jobs that enable artificial intelligence and other digital services to function seamlessly. Through a blend of rigorous research and compelling narratives, the book sheds light on the precarious nature of their work, the challenges they face, and the broader implications for labor in the digital age.
