The Digital Monk We are witnessing the digitalization of professions. Not so long ago, it would have been inconceivable to take yoga classes online, or to follow an entire university course at a distance via the possibilities offered by the Internet.

The office professions had no use for workers, many of whom they saw as proletarians. AI is reversing the mechanisms of proletarianization.
