Technology (and its various implications for work, the economy and capitalism) is a subject that has fascinated and engaged a wide range of scholars through the years. Some have been engaged for a very long time, while others have only recently arrived to analyse the particular impacts of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Stephen R. Barley has been around for some time and provides much needed perspective and context to these debates in a rather short (160 pages) new book, aptly titled Work and Technological Change.
