The Good Robot

Worker Surveillance and the US Trucking Industry with Karen Levy


Listen Later

In this episode we chat to Karen Levy, Associate Professor of Information Science at Cornell University and author of Data Driven: Truckers, Technology, and the New Workplace Surveillance. Karen is an expert in the changing face of long distance driving - she spent ten years doing research with truck drivers.

We recorded this a while ago so it’s an audio-only episode.
