Amazon - At the Intersection of Culture and Capital (Hardcover)

This collection offers the first up-to-date, book-length, academic study of Amazon. It is an indispensable tool for any researcher in the humanities and social sciences in the future looking to study not only Amazon, but also other capitalist platform systems, as well as the huge array of social, political, economic and cultural issues that they implicate. Amazon is too complex and multi-faceted a platform for any individual researcher to cover. Structuring the book as an edited collection allows the editors to incorporate a broad range of expertise, critical insight, and methodological depth adequate to the task of being the first comprehensive book to critically analyze Amazon as a technology platform.
