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."

One morning, when we were eating breakfast at the table, talking about local events and goings-on, they told me that the community college in Rock Springs was offering a sign language course through outreach, and asked me if I wanted to take the course with them.

Even if Trinity Hall, Cambridge backs away from this reportedly 'immoral' strategy of targeting recruitment at elite private schools such as Eton and Winchester, it still tells you a lot about what many people in these institutions really think.

"The Real Housewives of Moscow

Russian women were early to feminism. Now, though, their vision of liberation can look strangely like the domestic trap they were supposed to escape.

(. . .)

During the Second World War, some twenty-seven million Soviets were killed, most of them men in prime reproductive age. Hoping to rebuild and repopulate the country, Nikita Khrushchev encouraged women to get married and have as many babies as possible, but there were no men left to marry. Those who had managed to return from the war often came back wounded, both physically and psychologically. These men, too, were encouraged to get married—and stay married. Divorce became much more difficult to obtain. As a result, millions of women had to settle for having children with men who were married to other women—something that the state endorsed. By the twenty-first century, the male population had long since recovered, but there was still a sense, bordering on panic, that good men—single, decent, with well-paying jobs—were an endangered species. As one Russian girlfriend told me, 'Men are like public toilets: either taken or shat in.'

Many Russian women felt time keenly, as if they knew to the second how long they had until their physical beauty—their main *aktiv*, one’s chief asset—would cease to be competitive in a cutthroat market. Until then, they capitalized on what nature had given them, investing as much as they could in clothing, makeup, and beauty procedures. (I was often asked by women in Moscow why their American counterparts 'didn’t take care of themselves.') During the financial crisis of 2008, Russia was the G-20 country hit hardest by the economic collapse, and yet cosmetics sales didn’t budge. Russian politicians, usually male, frequently touted Russian women as the most beautiful in the world, as if they were, like oil and gas, another natural resource to be exploited in the country’s march back to superpower status."

A quotation from The Bible

Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.
 
[τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες, μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς. μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες, προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων· εἰ δυνατὸν τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν, μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες·]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Romans 12: 16-18 [GNT (1992 ed.)]
