Abstract
In the previous three chapters we have seen the digital discourse’s treatment of the integration of network technology and central components of the economic mechanisms of contemporary capitalism: the market, work life, and the process of production. The analysis offered an explanatory framework according to which the digital discourse legitimates the new constellations of power entailed by the rise of the contemporary phase of post-Fordist capitalism. A central concern of these chapters has been humans and how the transformations of market, work, and production transform their lives. After all, they are still the objects and subjects of the digital discourse, a discourse that is concerned primarily (though not exclusively, as we will see in the Chapter 7) with the human condition.
