About the Book
*Serving a Wired World* is a history of information service work embedded
in the daily maintenance of liberal Britain and the status quo in the early
years of the twentieth century. As Katie Hindmarch-Watson shows, the
administrators and engineers who crafted these telecommunications systems
created networks according to conventional gender perceptions and social
hierarchies, modeling the operation of the networks on the dynamic between
master and servant.
Reviews
"Hindmarch-Watson has delivered a gem: a history that is deeply specific
yet urgently relevant to our present technological moment."
—Mar Hicks, author of *Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women
Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing*

"With detailed and original stories of labor, gender, sexuality, and
surveillance, this brilliant book is the cutting edge of a new wave of
scholarship on class and labor."
—Anna Clark, author of *Alternative Histories of the Self: A Cultural
History of Sexuality and Secrets, 1762–1917*
