The book makes an in-depth analysis of the new labor models existing within capitalist societies after the crisis of the so-called 'postfordist model' in economics. Fundamentally, it focuses on the typology of the autonomous worker and delves into the contradictions that shape it, symbolizing, on the one hand, the achievement of a more free and creative way of working, heir to the sixty-eightist postulates, and, on the other, the confinement to a status as a dangerously legally unprotected worker, whose maintenance would be essential for the perpetuation of current modes of economic exploitation.
