Chapter 1: The IT Society in India, its inhabitants, and their Lives of Desperation -- Chapter 2: The Exploitative Nature of the IT Spaces -- Chapter 3: Social Reproduction and the IT Women -- Chapter 4: The Social Construction of Managerial Solutions to Political Problems -- Chapter 5: The Invisible Information Technology Workers -- Chapter 6: The Arrival of the 'Metro' Middle Class -- Chapter 7: Techie Unionisation in the IT Society Chapter 8: Workers, Middle Class Employees, Professionals? No, just the Working Poor!.

This book is a study of workers in India's Informational Technology sector, and focuses on how the past three decades of neoliberal economic reforms have impacted the efforts to organize the workers in the sector given the socio-political and economic setbacks encountered by the broader labour movement. In doing so, the book explores the role of privatization, changing gender relations inside and outside the workplace, new organizational forms created by IT workers to advance their interests, and the increasingly precarious nature of IT work. By exploring how the growth of the IT sector in India has amplified and reproduced discrimination against unskilled and marginalized elements of the labour force, the book shows the ways in which other social and political divisions create considerable barriers when it comes to the ability of IT workers to successfully collaborate with other sectors within the Indian labour movement The book will be of interest to students and researchers ofsociology, labour studies, political economy and gender studies. Suddhabrata Deb Roy is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Sociology, Gender Studies and Criminology in the University of Otago, New Zealand. He mainly works on Marxist theory, and is the author of four books and numerous journal articles.
