dc.description.abstractThe interview with Max Haiven focuses on resistance practices in the delivery market and the project The Worker as Futurist. It also draws attention to the fact that Amazon, as the world’s largest provider of media such as books and films, works significantly on the image of delivery and also shapes the socio-political fu- ture in the image of logistics. In this conversation, Haiven and the volume’s co- editors discuss how Amazon, as a global corporate actor, uses specific practices and aesthetics to hijack the power of the imagination in order to shape the future of delivery and logistics. Against this background, Haiven introduces the project The Worker as Futurist, in which Amazon workers write and publish speculative fiction stories. Working in the tradition of workers’ fiction, Haiven and his collab- orators work against the images with which Amazon closes off a variety of fu- tures.en
