The Social Codes of Tech Workers: Class Identity in Digital Capitalism

Robert Dorschel

(MIT Press, 2026)

"Digital technologies shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Yet little attention has been paid to the tech workers who design and program these technologies. Instead, the spotlight often falls on two extremes: the elite class of tech entrepreneurs and the precarious digital proletariat of gig and crowd workers. This narrow focus has left a critical gap in understanding the middle-class professionals operating behind the scenes of digital capitalism.

Drawing on over 50 original interviews and discourse analytical research conducted in the US and Germany, The Social Codes of Tech Workers takes readers deep into their hearts and minds. Robert Dorschel demonstrates how tech workers’ subjectivity is structured by a return of social critique, hybrid professional roles, and distinctive lifestyles. The book identifies tech workers as a contradictory class formation, oscillating between a spirit of emancipation and yet another spirit of capitalism. This work will appeal to scholars across disciplines concerned with digital labor, identity, and class, as well as to the broader public interested in the culture of the tech industry and the evolving future of work."

#Degrowth #DigitalDegrowth #Ecology #DigitalColonialism #DigitalCapitalism #SiliconValley: "The world is racing toward an irreversible ecological catastrophe. Environmental science makes clear that humans must reduce total material resource use, requiring a radical redistribution of wealth within and between countries. Yet little attention has been paid to how the digital economy fits into this equation.

Michael Kwet, a leading expert on digital colonialism, presents a new paradigm for the digital society. Merging the science of degrowth with a global analysis of the high-tech economy, he argues that digital capitalism and colonialism must be abolished quickly. In Digital Degrowth, Kwet maps out a path to a people's tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, US imperialism and power elites everywhere in order to realize a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters equality in harmony with nature."

TITiPI @ State of the World 2022 / online Global Conference

Friday 16 September
11:00-13:00 CET
Session 5: Digital capitalism: the new frontier

"We are experiencing a time of accelerated technological change, a new industrial revolution, led by giant corporations in the marketplace and by security states in terms of surveillance. How is digitalisation changing capitalism or entrenching it? Why is its infrastructure so colonial? How will the expansion of the digital frontier shape geopolitics and resource conflicts? How do we forge a different path?"

With: Anita Gurumurthy, Miriyam Aouragh, Seda Gürses, Nick Couldry, Jack Qiu

Moderator: Sofia Scasserra
