The world of gig work is a world of work that has been built on the obfuscation of where and how value from work is generated. Woodcock and Graham introduce readers to the inner workings of the gig economy simultaneously hailed and denounced as the disruptor of traditional economies revealing just how technology, technology corporations and workers interact within it.

The chances of surviving a cardiac arrest have been boosted for the community surrounding Tipapa Marae in Murupara, with the gift of a new automated external defibrillator (AED).
The lifesaving device presented by St John is the latest of 28 AEDs donated by ASB and Philips to support efforts by St John to improve cardiac arrest survival rates in New Zealand.
St John s Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) registry, released last week, revealed last year, St John Ambulance treated more than 2000 people for a cardiac arrest in the community, with only 31 per cent of those surviving to hospital arrival.
