About this book
Reviews
“It covers a lot of ground in 270 pages, drawing widely from contemporary Marxist theory as well as an extensive engagement with Marx’s original work. It provides a useful survey of the concept of alienation and argues for the continuing and contemporary relevance of Marxist theory and its basic categories of labour, value, the commodity, subsumption and soon. … For these reasons, this is a unique and ground-breaking monograph in the field of critical university studies.” (Joss Winn, Postdigital Science and Education, January, 2, 2019)
