Abstract
Behind the image of lightness and immateriality of the digital lies an iceberg of hyper-exploitation of labour, resource consumption, and pollution along the value chains. The M-E-L-G matrix guides the analysis of the production processes that make digitalisation possible, examined through the lens of ‘digital noxiousness’: from mining extractivism to semiconductors, from the energy and water consumption of data centres to electronic waste. At the core emerges ‘digitarchy’, the regime of the digital social order, in which the power of the technology giants intertwines and clashes with forms of bottom-up action, contributing to the redefinition of global inequalities.
Keywords Capitalismo digitale, semiconduttori, chip, lavoro
