The platform and the life of the labour-force. Networks, algorithms and organization in digital capitalism

The subject of the following article is the set of social and economic
phenomena pertaining to digital capitalism, and the mutations of labor-power.

Bringing previous economic dynamics to fruition, digital capitalism has produced a specific production model, centered on the connective ubiquity of

networks (material and virtual), codes, algorithms and platforms as devices for
organizing and coordinating different economic processes. The second section
will discuss the transformations of intellectual labor-power, from the illusion

of freedom generated by networks (collective intelligence) to the reality of precarious, flexible, fragmented digital labor subjected to continuous training processes, and the intensification of the use of technological apparatuses capable of

demanning and subduing human labor-power.
The conclusions will recapitulate the highlights of the chapters and try to list
some possible scenarios of critique within digital networks.
