A lucid essay on how capitalism has been appropriating the construction of knowledge in recent centuries and has vampirized newspapers.
The drafting of a newspaper is one of the ideal places to see the direction that the structural transformation of the system has been taking. Once his venerable printing presses were immolated for progress that was not such, it is now the newspapers themselves that are vampirized by the last avatar of capitalism, digital, and its reguero of bots, algorithms and widespread precarization. But what consequences will all this have on the public sphere and thus on the functioning of democracies? What message does your corrosive commodization contain for the rest of us? Isn't it that of a catastrophic horizon in which we become disposable raw materials, doomed to the working weather by big data, increasingly efficient automatons or increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence in the search for long-term profitability?

From that "mast cap" that already scourses, Ekaitz Cancela writes the chronicle of this end of time in an instant of danger, in which the digitization of a financed economy to the core presents itself as a false solution to the organic crisis of the system. But there is still a halito of hope if we can wake up from technological dreaming, if we can reap the economic resources of the 21st century, the data, and the infrastructures they have created. Because, in the struggle for ownership of the means of production, we play a game whose wingspan spans the whole story.
