Matthew Cole × Nick Srnicek
Summary
Matt Cole and Nick Srnicek have multiple documented connections. First, Nick Srnicek acknowledged Matt Cole as a peer reviewer of an academic chapter: ‘My thanks to Matt Cole, Julieta Haidar, Maarten Keune, Michal Rozworski, and Jathan Sadowski for their comments on an earlier draft of this chapter’ (Sources 1 & 2). Second, Matt Cole’s work on platform capitalism is cited alongside Srnicek’s in academic discussion: ‘As Matt Cole (2017) describes, platforms, with their circulatory emphasis, offer users the multiple possible subject-positions… Attempting to analyze platform operations through the lens of value-theory, as Cole attempts, does not so much restore the validity of traditional categories as reveal how far they are over-spilled by Big Tech’ (Source 3), situating Cole’s 2017 work as an extension of Srnicek’s platform capitalism framework. Third, Matt Cole’s book ‘Unpaid’ was recommended alongside Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek’s book ‘After Work’ in the same reading list (Source 4). Fourth, Matt Cole is scheduled to appear ‘in conversation with Nick Srnicek and Sarah Jaffe’ at a book launch event titled ‘Abolishing Wage Theft’ at King’s College, London, on June 3rd (Source 5), indicating a planned public intellectual engagement.
