Quote:
"Sophie Bissonnette's brilliant documentary Quel Numero, What Number? or The Electronic Sweatshop [...] shows women in the workplace as enslaved to new masters, masters that have memories, that set performance and production levels, that record their every move, that talk back to them, and that are blessedly exempt from any sort of blame or accountability. The documentary reveals that management has found its perfect shield in the computer because workers develop such intense relationships with the computerized machine, they have personified it."
-- Carole Corbeil
