Creative Construction
“Modern capitalism is a system of such concentrated economic and political power that its opponents often feel helpless when they consider how it might be replaced. Creative Construction helps to address this issue by exploring varied approaches to the democratization of critical social institutions – and the challenges involved in this process of democratization – to empower those seeking to challenge capitalism while developing creative solutions to the multiple, overlapping crises capitalist systems have created.” Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism “This is a brilliant and inspiring book about visions and the urge to imagine and create a socially and ecologically just and viable future. A refreshing exercise at a time of despair that pushes us to rethink democratic planning and how it can transform security and freedom into collective values. A must-read even – especially – for those that cannot avoid but thinking that planning is either authoritarian or doomed to failure.” Cecilia Rikap, University College London “In the face of the climate emergency, war and financial crisis, a democratically planned economy is the only way to a more just and sustainable future. This book is an essential contribution to that project from some of its leading thinkers. Ranging from concrete models for organising production and reproduction, to pieces that address the challenges facing democratic planning, this is a must-read for activists, students and scholars alike.” Nick Srnicek, King’s College London

Feeding the Machine. Hinter den Kulissen der KI-Imperien
Wer füttert die Maschinen?Wie KI entsteht. - Spannend wie ein Thriller 'Das wichtigste Buch, das im derzeitigen Fieber der KI-Publikationen geschrieben wurde.' Stephen Fry - NOMINIERT FÜR DEN DEUTSCHEN WIRTSCHAFTSBUCHPREIS 2025 KI ist keine bunte Wolke, die frei durch den Äther schwebt. Wer nur staunt, wie schnell die Programme lernen, lässt sich täuschen: Denn die KI erschafft sich nicht selbst - ihre Entwicklung beruht zum großen Teil auf prekärer Arbeit. Es sind Menschen wie Anita in Uganda, die für einen Autokonzern in einem stundenlangen Klickreigen menschliche Anzeichen für Müdigkeit kennzeichnet, während ihr selbst jede Pause verwehrt bleibt. Wie Einar, der das infrastrukturelle Machtzentrum einer gigantischen Serverfarm wartet. Oder Alex, der am KI-gesteuerten Förderband eines britischen Amazon-Logistikzentrums Produkte sortiert - im Sekundentakt. Ihre Geschichten offenbaren die Ausbeutungsstrukturen, die bis tief in unseren Alltag reichen. Für ihr Buch analysieren die renommierten Forscher des Oxford Internet Institute die bitteren neuen Arbeitswelten hinter unserer beliebten Denkmaschine und beleuchten die kolonialen Machtdynamiken eines digitalen Ökosystems, das uns zunehmend entgleitet. Denn wo der Mensch einspringt, um der KI zu helfen, bleiben Menschenrechte oft auf der Strecke. 'Wer, wie ich es tat, tatsächlich glaubt, dass es das Internet für lau gibt, der möge dieses außergewöhnliche und wichtige Buch lesen.' Brian Eno Das ist die Ironie: Dass du diese Menschen dazu bringen musst, wie eine Maschine zu arbeiten, um die Maschine dazu zu bringen, wie ein Mensch zu sein. Mark Graham

But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions that labour under often appalling conditions to make AI possible.Feeding the Machine presents an urgent, riveting investigation of the intricate network of organisations that maintain this exploitative system, revealing the untold truth of AI. Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, this book shows us the lives of the workers often deliberately concealed from view and the systems of power that determine their future.

Feeding the Machine
Big Tech has sold us the illusion that artificial intelligence is a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity to humanity. But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions that labour under often appalling conditions to make AI possible. Feeding the Machine presents an urgent, riveting investigation of the intricate network of organisations that maintain this exploitative system, revealing the untold truth of AI.Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, this book shows us the lives of the workers often deliberately concealed from view and the systems of power that determine their future. It shows how AI is an extraction machine that churns through ever-larger datasets and feeds off humanity's labour and collective intelligence to power its algorithms. Feeding the Machine is a call to arms against this exploitative system and details what we need to do, individually and collectively, to fight for a more just digital future.
