Marx at the Arcade: Consoles, Controllers, and Class Struggle

With Jamie Woodcock. 'Marx at the Arcade' is a groundbreaking study of not only the politics and history of videogames, but also of their production: of the terrible working conditions that force horrendous hours during the "crunch", the intensified exploitation made possible by the supposed glamour of many people's "dream job", the atomisation and deskilling of the workforce in the search for greater profit. And, crucially, of the growing efforts of workers across the globe in the industry to organise collectively to demand change.
