Klappentext Within advanced capitalist countries, the workplace has been made more "flexible" through cellphones, e-mail, freelancing, and outsourcing. The same process often makes the situation of the worker more precarious. Ursula Huws's Making of a Cybertariat examines this process from a number of perspectives.

It explores changing categories of employment and modes of organization! and how new divisions of race and gender are created in the process.
