Work today is no longer regulated only by bureaucracy. New forms of control also persist through biocracy in which life itself (or bios) is an essential ‘human resource’ to be exploited. Perhaps an updated version of the 70’s human strike best describes labour’s response. In a workers society like ours, where work is everywhere, even in our dreams, the shared desire to be left alone might signal the coming of a truly democratic resolution.
