This practical appre­ hension of computers is thus a process of adjustment to the incremen­ tal progress of the technology, with a comparatively weak feedback loop to the source of technological innovation, the computer industry and profession, despite all the noise...

Employers, likewise, can access these workers through computer interfaces without ever interacting with them. I examine the AMT-mediated computational labor relations between technologist employers and the data...
