"I believe this book to be written for a specific audience, one that is, just like academia in the UK continues to be, predominantly white and male. . the book appears to be a significant contribution in understanding the alienation of academics, the role academic labour plays in it, and how a categorical critique of the nature of academic labour is crucial to move beyond it." (Svenja Helmes, Pedagogy, Culture & Society, February 11, 2020)"It covers a lot of ground in 270 pages, drawing widely from contemporary Marxist theory as well as an extensive engagement with Marx's original work. It provides a useful survey of the concept of alienation and argues for the continuing and contemporary relevance of Marxist theory and its basic categories of labour, value, the commodity, subsumption and soon. . For these reasons, this is a unique and ground-breaking monograph in the field of critical university studies." (Joss Winn, Postdigital Science and Education, January, 2, 2019)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
