In 'The Soul at Work,' philosopher Franco 'Bifo' Berardi presents a critical analysis of labor in the digital age. He examines the shift from industrial factories to the 'social factory' of cognitive labor, where capitalism harnesses our creativity, language, and emotion. Berardi argues this has led to a new form of alienation, marked by psychological fragility, precariousness, and constant connectivity. The book delves into how semio-capitalism exploits the very soul of the worker and explores potential pathways to reclaim autonomy from its pervasive control.
