Recoding Power combines sustained theoretical analysis with rigorous empirical research, providing valuable insights and an optimistic vitality to understanding how tech workers can oppose layoffs and build worker power. Accordingly, I strongly recommend this book to all scholars and graduate students interested in reducing power inequality in the workplace and in society.
