A Review of Marx and the Robots: Networked production, AI, and Living labor [Book Review]

Abstract

Karl Marx (1818 – 1883) has been one of the most controversial individual ever walk on Earth. Passing away in 1883, more than 100 years now, yet he left behind such a legacy – a world, changed forever by him. His vision about what the world was, is, and is going to be, has given birth to an ideology after his name – Marxism – and its influence can be seen days in days out. It has been provided as one of the fundamental worldviews of most social movments around the world since its appearance, some of which has had the historical role of changing the politicial landscape, demolishing the prejudiced values in most of societies and civilizations to the point that I can say, we all live with, benefited from or harmed by all of us today. As long as the current society exists (Ho & Vuong, 2024), I would say, as Jacquess Derrida said, the spectre of Marx – “the spectre of communism” would haunt all of us as the reminder of what we should do to solve the problem of society, not through its superstitious power, but through an actual scientific analysis.
