A technology ethnographer trained in sociology, Alex studies how technology shapes changes in the workplace and why that transforms how we relate to one another in society. Her multidisciplinary scholarship spans across Uber’s drivers, algorithmic management, information and power asymmetries on employment platforms, and surveillance and accountability. She is the author of Uberland: How Algorithms Are Rewriting The Rules Of Work, forthcoming from the University of California Press in 2018. Her most recent work is available in the International Journal of Communications, the Columbia Law Review, Policy & Internet, and Surveillance & Society.
