Inventing the Future
Postcapitalism and a World Without Work
AvNick Srnicek,Alex Williams
Häftad, Engelska, 2016
134 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Neoliberalism isn't working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite.Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms.This new edition includes a new chapter where they respond to their various critics.
Silicon Empires
The Fight for the Future of AI
AvNick Srnicek
Häftad, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Since the emergence of ChatGPT, generative AI has been heralded as a technology poised to revolutionize our world. But beyond the hype and hyperbole, who truly wields power over this transformative technology?In Silicon Empires, Nick Srnicek explores the geopolitical economy of artificial intelligence, revealing how a handful of powerful corporations and states are engaged in a monumental struggle to control its future. Srnicek moves beyond the headlines to lay bare the elaborate strategies that these silicon empires - from tech giants to great powers - are deploying to capture the immense value of AI. This incisive analysis uncovers the deep-seated tensions between corporate ambitions and national interests, and the profound consequences of this new era of technological competition.As the race for AI supremacy accelerates, Srnicek compellingly demonstrates that the decisions being made in the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the halls of government will shape the distribution of wealth and power on a global scale for decades to come.Now available as an audiobook.
Platform Capitalism
AvNick Srnicek
Häftad, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of ‘platform capitalism’.This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future. This book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how the most powerful tech companies of our time are transforming the global economy."Also available as an audiobook.

Does it ever feel like you have no free time? You come home after work and instead of finding a space of rest and relaxation, you're confronted by a pile of new tasks to complete - cooking, cleaning, looking after the kids, and so on.In this ground-breaking book, Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek lay out how unpaid work in our homes has come to take up an ever-increasing portion of our lives - how the vacuum of free time has been taken up by vacuuming. Examining the history of the home over the past century - from running water to white goods to smart homes - they show how repeated efforts to reduce the burden of this work have faced a variety of barriers, challenges, and reversals.Charting the trajectory of our domestic spaces over the past century, Hester and Srnicek consider new possibilities for the future, uncovering the abandoned ideas of anti-housework visionaries and sketching out a path towards real free time for all, where everyone is at liberty to pursue their passions, or do nothing at all. It will require rethinking our living arrangements, our expectations and our cities.

Die Zukunft erfinden

"Die Zukunft erfinden" ist ein Manifest für das Leben nach dem Kapitalismus. Gegen die Konfusion, die politisch links wie rechts herrscht, wenn es darum geht, unsere High-Tech-Welt zu verstehen, stellt sich das Buch der Aufgabe, das emanzipatorische und zukunftsorientierte Potential der heutigen Gesellschaften zurückzuerobern. Statt einer komplizierten Zukunft auszuweichen, zielen Nick Srnicek und Alex Williams auf eine postkapitalistische Ökonomie, die es erlaubt, die Lebensbedingungen der Menschen zu verbessern, die Arbeit abzuschaffen und Technologien zu entwickeln, die unsere Freiheiten erweitern. Die Theoretiker des Akzelerationismus haben in "Die Zukunft erfinden" ihre Thesen aus dem "Akzelerationistischen Manifest" begründet und in einen politischen Zusammenhang gestellt."Statt die Mühe auf sich zu nehmen, einmal Erreichtes zu konsolidieren und weiter zu entwickeln, zielte die folkloristische Politik darauf ab, sich gegen die Zumutungen des globalen Neoliberalismus Zufluchtsorte einzurichten. So blieb sie eine Politik, die defensiv orientiert und außerstande war, eine neue Welt zu entwerfen oder an ihr zu bauen. Das vorliegende Buch umreißt daher eine andere Art Politik, eine, die darauf abzielt, die Zukunft selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und dabei eine Welt anzustreben, die moderner ist, als der Kapitalismus es jemals erlauben würde. Die den technologischen Möglichkeiten des 21. Jahrhunderts inhärenten utopischen Potentiale dürfen nicht an das unter dem Kapitalismus Vorstellbare gefesselt bleiben; eine anspruchsvolle linke Alternative muss sie befreien. Der Neoliberalismus ist gescheitert, der sozialdemokratische Weg unmöglich, nur mit einer ganz anderen Sicht lassen sich allgemeiner Wohlstand und umfassende Emanzipation gewinnen."Srnicek & Williams

Was vereint Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Monsanto, Uber und Airbnb? Sie alle sind Unternehmen, die Hardware und Software für andere bereitstellen, mit dem Ziel, möglichst geschlossene sozio-ökonomische Tech-Systeme zu schaffen. Google kontrolliert die Recherche, Facebook regiert Social Media und Amazon ist führend beim E-Commerce. Doch nicht nur Technologie-Unternehmen bauen Plattformen auf, auch Traditionsfirmen wie Siemens entwickeln ein cloudbasiertes Produktionssystem.Plattformen sind in der Lage, immense Daten zu gewinnen, zu nutzen und zu verkaufen – Monopolisierungstendenzen sind die "natürliche" Folge. Sind wir auf dem Weg in einen digitalen Monopolkapitalismus? Diese Streitschrift ist unerlässlich für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie die mächtigsten technologischen Unternehmen unserer Zeit die globale Ökonomie verändern.

Kunstliche Intelligenz soll unsere Welt revolutionieren. Doch wer hat die Macht uber diese transformative Technologie? In Silicon Empires untersucht Nick Srnicek die geopolitische Okonomie der kunstlichen Intelligenz. Er zeigt, wie machtige Unternehmen und Staaten darum kampfen, sie zu kontrollieren und die KI-Infrastruktur auszubauen. Srnicek legt die Strategien offen, mit denen diese Silicon Empires - von Tech-Giganten bis hin zu Gromachten wie den Vereinigten Staaten und China - versuchen, sich den immensen Wert der KI zu sichern. Mit seiner Analyse zeigt er die Spannungen zwischen Unternehmensambitionen und nationalen Interessen sowie die weitreichenden Folgen dieser neuen Ara des technologischen Wettbewerbs auf. Wahrend sich der Wettlauf um die Vorherrschaft im Bereich der KI beschleunigt, verdeutlicht Srnicek, dass die Entscheidungen, die auf den Vorstandsetagen des Silicon Valley und in den Regierungsgebauden getroffen werden, die Verteilung von Wohlstand und Macht auf globaler Ebene fur die kommenden Jahrzehnte pragen werden.

A vital and timely proposal for a feminist post-work politics
Would you let a robot clean your house?
When we think about work, we still tend to think about workplaces—if we think about reducing work, we think about reducing working hours and spending more time at home. But the home has never been free from work, and with the continued gendered division of labor, women still do the bulk of domestic activities.
As two-income families find themselves ever more time-poor, many look to outsource to cleaners, nannies, and care workers. More and more, it would seem, people are finding themselves without either the emotional or the financial resources to take care of themselves and each other. The home, rather than an escape from the work and its pressures, is in fact an extension of it.
After Work is a crucial corrective to this trend, extending its attention beyond paid jobs to the impact of domestic work upon familial relationships, social bonds, and our very conceptions of domestic space. What if we automated housework?
In this groundbreaking work, Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek argue that there is a crisis that can and should be tackled. Only by rethinking the way we organize our living arrangements, redefining our domestic standards, and remaining open to the automation of work done in the home, they argue, can we imagine a world that is truly post-work.
