Workers in cultural industries often say that the best part of their job is the opportunity for creativity. At the same time, profit-minded managers at both traditional firms and digital platforms exhort workers to "be creative.? Even as cultural fields hold out the prospect of meaningful employment, they are marked by heightened economic precarity. What does it mean to be creative under contemporary capitalism?

Combining vivid ethnographic detail and keen sociological insight, Creative Control explains why "cool? jobs help us understand how workers can participate in their own exploitation.
