Grey notes within the first few pages that on-demand work isn't inherently good or bad, a sentiment I disagree with, in later pages, she talks about how people working in ghost work often have this sense of urgency to not only accept a job,[^1] but to complete the task accurately or risk losing income. To me this aligns to the [[white supremacy]] cultural habit.[^2] We see that by applying this sense of urgency it perpetuates a power imbalance between employee and employer while disconnecting ghost workers from their need to pause and reflect, which would guarantee a higher success rate and the need for companies to pay them more.

Robots and automations often allow employers to have what they want, when they want it, which allows them to avoid navigating the the problems of negotiating with employees for better, safer working conditions. It also means they no longer need to deal with the classification of types of work, or engaging with the employment laws that are protecting humans.

*What will you sacrifice for the truth? Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power. But her work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own government, spreading lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate, has landed her in trouble with the most powerful man in the country: President Duterte.*

*Now, hounded by the state, she has multiple arrest warrants against her name, and a potential 100+ years behind bars to prepare for - while she stands trial for speaking the truth.*

*How to Stand Up to a Dictator is the story of how democracy dies by a thousand cuts, and how an invisible atom bomb has exploded online that is killing our freedoms. It maps a network of disinformation - a heinous web of cause and effect - that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars, to America's Capitol Hill, to Britain's Brexit, to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare, to Facebook and Silicon Valley, to our own clicks and our own votes. Told from the frontline of the digital war, this is Maria Ressa's urgent cry for us to wake up and hold the line, before it is too late.*
