18. It's something she's doing as part of "Bait and Switch" which is a book
about white collar unemployment.

All her previous books have been about the poor and the working class. But this one is about white collar unempployment. So, there are parts about doing the daily, depressing internet job search.

I guess she figured if white collar under and unemployed people had their computers on and were depressing themselves looking for jobs, it wouldn't be a big leap to try to get them organized by computer.

She certainly didn't try to organize the sorts of people she wrote about in Nickel and Dimed by computer.
