"""It is a study that merits close attention by academics and students interested in understanding the predicament and prospects of individuals engaged in lower-skilled work in the platform economy."" ILR Review “A must-read for everyone interested in understanding how workers, and worker struggles, will come to shape the future of the platform economy.” Mark Graham, University of Oxford ""Kassem’s work is exceptional, revealing insights into the power of worker organising in the face of megalithic corporate power. It will stand the test of time."" Phoebe V. Moore, University of Essex “Work and Alienation in the Platform Economy makes a fundamental contribution to understanding of changing work conditions and possibilities for solidarity under those conditions. Sarrah Kassem puts contemporary platform work and workers in a much needed theoretical and historical perspective, and her intersectional analysis on collective worker agency is especially necessary in this moment. This book is an important and impressive achievement.” Veena Dubal, University of California"
