With Red May 5 only a few weeks away, we will be sharing a ton of previous Red May interviews and talks, Social Movement Lab discussions, and new Cinder Bloc. episodes.  

Last week on Cinder Bloc. we presented a discussion we had with Annie McClanahan and Jason E. Smith around the shifting terrain of economic productivity in the US, the historical factors pushing labor toward service sector work, gigification, and how these conditions transform social struggles today. 

This week, we are doubling down for our E. Smithians in the crowd. In February, we hosted a local discussion where Red May founder Philip Wohlstetter interviewed Jason about his book Smart Machines and Service Work: Automation in an Age of Stagnation, out through the Brooklyn Rail's Field Notes series with Reaktion Books. The event was a digital roundtable hosted by our local bibli-oasis Elliott Bay Book Company.
