In the U.S., social media content creation is excluded from the census. As The Washington Post headlined in 2023, “millions work as creators. In official records, they barely exist.” Great piece by @brookeerinduffy.bsky.social. www.forbes.com/sites/brooke...

This book is about labor, consumption, and life in platform capitalism – for all of us who inhabit the relation in-convenience. Convenience is an entry point into logistics, streaming media, data centers, sleep apps and much else.
Cover text read In/Convenience: Inhabiting the Logistical Surround.
Edited by Joshua Neves and Marc SteinbergBack matter of the book reads:
Convenience is the feeling and aspiration that animates our platformed present. As such, it poses urgent techno-political questions about the everyday digital habitus. From next-day delivery, gig work, and tele-health to cashless payment systems, data centers, and policing – convenience is an affordance and an enclosure; our logistical surround. Driving every experience of convenience is the precarious work, proprietary algorithms, or predatory schemes that subtend it. This collaborative book traces how the logistical surround is transformed by thickening digital economies and networked rituals, examining contemporary conveniences across a wide range of practices and geographies. Contributors examine the ineluctable relation between convenience and its constitutive opposite, inconvenience, considering its infrastructural, affective, and compulsory dimensions. Living in convenience is thus both a hyper visible manifestation of so-called late capitalism and a pervasive mood that fades into the background (like the data centers that power it). Bringing the agonistic relation of in/convenience to center stage, this volume analyzes the logistics of delivery, streaming porn, cloud computing, water infrastructures, smartness paradigms, convenience stores, sleep apps, surveillance, AI ethics, and much more – rethinking the cultural politics of convenience for the present conjuncture.

Joshua Neves is Associate Professor, Concordia University, and author of Underglobalization: Beijing’s Media Urbanism and the Chimera of Legitimacy.
