The incorporation of information technologies has transformed capitalist relations, directly impacting the forms of subsumption and the realisation of work. This article proposes a critical analysis of the changes caused by these technologies, arguing that they intensify capitalist relations rather than represent a rupture with the logic of value, as suggested by neo-feudal theses. The insertion of ICT is not a natural technological development but rather an imposition of class struggle within the capitalist logic. The new forms of control and disciplining of labour create an illusion of self-realisation, obscuring exploitation and expropriation as the real objectives of these technological transformations
