Uncertain Futures: Imaginaries, Narratives, and Calculation in the Economy

en chapters. I would not describe the book as jargon-filled because of its careful exposition and illustration with a variety of fascinating examples of how robots have been connected to racial imaginaries in manufacturing, crowdsourcing, service work, warfare, and sex work. Enough depth about the cases is given in each chapter, which means the book as a whole provides a useful survey of potential research sites for sociologists interested in studying robots. The book also provides a generative grounding in relevant science and technology studies (STS) and race theory literatures. This would be a useful book to include in graduate seminars on the sociology of technology and the sociology of race, and in my opinion it should be required reading in any sociology course on colonization and empire.
