AWW22 Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America - Alec MacGillis

Chaired by Royce Kurmelovs


There is a price to be paid for convenience. The one-click wonder
of Amazon comes at a cost. In Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in
One-Click America, Alec MacGillis sets out to explore what that
cost is for the “America that fell in the company’s lengthening
shadow”, namely the places where Amazon’s influence proved
pernicious. Alec tells a chilling but utterly gripping dystopian
tale of the pervasive destructive impact of Amazon on American
life and many of its cities.
