Abstract

By locating his study in Washington, D.C., Greene makes clear that anti-Blackness gives shape to this period of capitalism. The promise of access: Technology, inequality, and the political economy of hope: By Daniel Greene, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2021. They have made a collective case that the Internet enables novel forms of capitalism, think surveillance capitalism or platform capitalism, and new modes of production, think heteromation and ghost work. As such, Greene's work will be read alongside other efforts to bring racial capitalism into studies of the Internet (see for example the synthesis proposed by McMillan Cottom, [5]).
