Writing & Rhetoric 2: Silicon Valley and the Future of Work: Rhetoric of Labor and Tech

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. This course takes as its theme Silicon Valley, an engine that promises/threatens to disrupt the way that national and global economies are organized. Does this point to a coming utopia? To a dystopia? Works from technologists, sociologists, economists, anthropologists, historians, activists and more will help answer these questions.
