‘Wow! Carrigan, Moscovitz, Martini and Robertson have gone straight to the cutting edge. Starting from the down curve of the pandemic and with a close eye on the digital, they take us all the way through the algorithmic academy and out the other side. Never has the neoliberal university looked more dated and inadequate; and these chapters show that while post-truth conspiracies, ecological blindness, platform capitalists and big five publishers loom ever larger the potentials of knowledge socialism are continuing and irrepressible. As Michael Peters says in his foreword, “there is always the contestation, dissent, and creative appropriation of technology that keeps the idea of the university alive.”’
