Ghost Work is a nonfiction investigation by Mary L. Gray and Siddharth Suri into the hidden labor that supports digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and online services. The book examines a form of task-based work that is often presented to users as fully automated even though human workers are performing the crucial actions behind the scenes. Rather than treating this labor as a technical detail, the authors frame it as a major labor and policy issue shaped by outsourcing, platform design, and global inequality. Drawing on research from the United States and India, the book explains how companies depend on invisible workers for moderation, data cleanup, content labeling, customer support, and other tasks that machines cannot reliably handle. Its purpose is both analytical and political: to reveal how automation actually works in practice and to argue that the future of digital labor should be more transparent, fair, and accountable.
