        Subject: New book + online launch: CYBERBOSS: The Rise of Algorithmic Management and the New Struggle for Control at Work

Dear colleagues,

The Centre for Digital Inquiry at the University of Warwick will be hosting
the first online launch of my new book, *Cyberboss: The Rise of Algorithmic
Management and the New Struggle for Control at Work*, out now with Verso
Books https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2958-cyberboss

The Centre for Digital Inquiry is Warwick's hub for critical digital
research. Led by Michael Dieter and Carolina Bandinelli, it has recently
launched CDI-TV, an experimental livestreaming project. You are warmly
invited to our Cyberboss event, which will stream on 4th December 2024 at
5pm on the CDI YouTube channel

"Algorithms and AIs may or may not take our jobs, but they are now
definitely directing and disciplining our work. This is the message of
Craig Gent's highly readable, urgently argued and carefully researched
study of the digital automation of management, a vital book for labour
activists, cyber-scholars, and all those fighting high-tech capitalisms
increasingly inhuman power." -- Nick Dyer-Witheford, author of Cyber-Marx,
Cyber-Proletariat and co-author of The Cybernetic Circulation Complex.

"Algorithmic management is a growing reality of the modern workplace. Craig
Gent provides an important investigation into the power and politics that
drive it, and how workers can challenge the ways it's used against them."
-- Paris Marx, host of Tech Won't Save Us and author of Road to Nowhere:
What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong About the Future of Transportation.

"A powerful and timely excavation of how new workplace technologies are in
fact making workers of all stripes less free." -- Marc Kohlbry,

Craig Gent
