Exciting news! Science has just published an excellent review of my book, Waiting for Robots: The Hidden Hands of Automation (University of Chicago Press, 2025).
The review, featured in Science Vol. 387, No. 6729, highlights the book’s contribution to the discourse on digital labor and platform capitalism. Here’s an excerpt:
“Waiting for Robots makes a substantial contribution to the discourse on digital labor and platform capitalism. Casilli’s incisive analysis of the hidden human costs of AI, combined with his clear and engaging prose, establishes the book as essential reading for those seeking to understand the ethical and social dimensions of technology. By dismantling the conventional wisdom surrounding AI and exposing the labor that underpins it, Casilli offers a compelling framework for envisioning a more equitable and inclusive digital future.”
