平台資本主義

Platform Capitalism

Platform Capitalism (平台資本主義) critically examines the influence of major digital platforms like Amazon, Facebook, and Google on the economy and society, particularly their data-driven business approaches and implications for the future of work.
    The book's design is inspired from early computer programming, particularly the FORTRAN language, by transforming the letters of the title 'Platform Capitalism' into a punch card format. This visual metaphor reflects the book's exploration of digitalized capitalism. The title ‘P-l-a-t-f-o-r-m C-a-p-i-t-a-l-i-s-m’ is reimagined in this punch card style. The punched holes in the jacket also creates a layered effect, unveiling the second cover beneath.
