That the global digital infrastructure is consolidated in a few hands is no secret. Our working lives are deeply embedded and shaped by these dynamics at a greater pace than ever before. What is the role of automation in such a digital economy and possible modes of resistance? How and under which conditions can technology be leveraged for emancipatory purposes? What role could cooperatives play in using technology differently? What does it mean for the future of our working lives, and the structural economic potential these currently-liminal spaces hold?
