<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Essays that explore new ways of living with technological change</b> <p/>Every year since 1964, the Socialist Register has offered a fascinating survey of movements and ideas<br>from the independent new left. This year's edition asks readers to explore just how we need to live with<br>new technologies. Essays in this 57th Socialist Register reveal the contradictions and dislocations of<br>technological change in the twenty-first century. And they explore alternative ways of living: from<br>artificial intelligence (AI) to the arts, from transportation to fashion, from environmental science to<br>economic planning.<br>Greg Albo - Post-capitalism: Alternatives or detours?<br>Nicole Aschoff and Pankaj Mahta - AI-deology: Science, capitalism and the dream of a 'people's AI'<br>Hugo Radice - There is nothing artificial about AI: Labour, class, utopia, socialism<br>Larry Lohman - Interpretation machines: Contradictions of digital mechanization in twenty-first century<br>capitalism<br>Robin Hahnel - Democratic socialist planning: Against, with and beyond the new technologies<br>Tanner Mirrlees - Platform socialists in the age of digital capitalism<br>Derek Hrynyshyn - Imagining information socialism<br>Bryan Palmer - Capitalism and the clock: Time's meaning in the struggle for socialism<br>Sean Sweeney and John Treat - Shifting gears: Labour strategies for low-carbon public transit mobility<br>Adam Greenfield - Smart cities, technological traps, democratic possibilities<br>Christoph Hermann - The consequences of commodification: Contours of a post-capitalist society<br>Joan Sangster - The surveillance of service labour: Conditions and possibilities of resistance<br>Jeronimo Montero Bressan - Beyond neoliberal fashion: Imagining clothing production as a human need<br>Massimiliano Mollona - Art/Commons: Art collectives and the post-capitalist imagination<br>Ingar Solty - The world of tomorrow: Scenarios for our future between demise and hope</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I know the Register very well and have found it extremely stimulating, often invaluable."--Noam Chomsky<br><br>"The Socialist Register has been the intellectual lodestar for the international left since 1964."--Mike Davis<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Leo Panitch (Editor) </b><br> <b>Leo Panitch</b> is Professor of Political Science at York University in Toronto and a Fulbright Fellow. <p/><b>Greg Albo (Editor) </b><br> <b>Greg Albo</b> is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at York University, Toronto. <p/></p>
