Technocapitalism
*Technocapitalism is the evolution of capitalism, changing its appearance to find new ways to accumulate capital, expanding its exploitation horizons. However, its previous versions do not disappear, but serve as a material and ideological base for the capitalist gears to keep it functioning.
Technocapitalism, or technological capitalism, could be defined as an evolution of industrial capitalism, where instead of focusing on extracting capital from factories, machinery and physical work, that is, from tangible work; it focuses on extracting capital from intangible work, exploiting creativity, ideas, new knowledge and data to produce new commodities
See platform capitalism, Vectoralism, technofeudalism, etc.
Industrial capitalism was based on modern science and mining to develop itself, while today’s technological capitalism is held on technoscience and technology
The book Technique and Technology provides a very coherent perspective: it understands that technology is inseparable from the ideology of capitalism and defines technology as a specific set of techniques developed from modern capitalism and industrialisation
