- Summary:
- "We continue the conversation with Callum Cant about his book Riding for Deliveroo, which, as the name suggests, documents his experience riding for the UK-based food delivery startup Deliveroo, in a bid to understand the new form of "algorithmic management" that the company represents. In the first conversation, we started by having Callum talk in detail about what it's actually like to ride for Deliveroo. We then went on to discuss the "workers' inquiry" methodology and class composition analysis that inspired Callum's research. In this episode, we move on to discussing what lasting impact gig companies have had on the urban fabric, and explore the dissonance that has developed between the tech vision of seamless, disembodied convenience and the exploitative labour process embodied in the experiences of gig workers themselves. But first, we start by discussing the idea of invisible organization as it relates to the two strike waves that Callum documents in the book."-- provided by distributor.
