Is the end of work through automation actually desirable? If a good life is the life of activity employing our rational, imaginative, and creative powers, what does it mean to say that future societies will be post-work societies? Rather than simply embracing the possibilities of automation to eliminate work, this collection considers that meaningful work is integral to the good life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHuman Flourishing in the Age of Digital Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e contains eight essays from scholars in the UK, Europe and USA, reflecting on the philosophical and ethical dimensions of technology and political theory. Contributions cover topics such as algorithmic management, the feared 'superintelligence' of machines, the concept of good work, and the alienating consequences of technology for workers. This timely and novel intervention in the automation debate will be of interest to anyone considering new technologies from the perspective of normative ethics and the critique of political economy.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643223101598,"sku":"UBD-9781350510715","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350510715.jpg?v=1774484592","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350510715","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
