The Amazon Warehouse as Disneyland

Jason Myles presents a critique of Jessica Bruder's 2020 film "Nomadland." From the video: "About 10 minutes in I thought I was watching Amazon the movie. I’ve seen Cold War propaganda, and if we’re in a new “Cold War” it’s the war against labor rights and this is the “Red Dawn of that fight. I couldn’t believe they actually shot inside an Amazon warehouse and made it look like workplace Disneyland."

Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization. Zero Books aims to work against this trend.
