"this automatic system of machinery that seems to be set in motion by a 'moving force that moves itself,' this automation, however, is not imagined even by marx in the Machine Fragment as a purely technical apparatus, as a purely aorganic, non-living composition, but rather as 'consisting of numerous mechanical and intellectual organs.' The workers operating the apparatus are just as much a part of the machine as the intellectual, cognitive labor of those who have developed the machine and make up its social environment: economists, managers, and engineers."
