The bleeding edge :
Hughes, Bob,
The bleeding edge : why technology turns toxic in an unequal world / Bob Hughes. - Oxford : New Internationalist, 2016. - 366 pages ; 22 cm
Capitalism likes us to believe in the steady, inevitable march of progress, from the abacus to the iPad. But the historical record tells of innumerable roads not taken, all of which could have led to better, more equal, worlds, and still can. Bob Hughes puts flesh on the bones of the idea that 'another world is possible', using as evidence the technology that capitalism claims as quintessentially its own.
