Abstract
This paper introduces some basic questions related to relationships between human beings, technologies, and employment. It identifies three common assumptions in theories of human capital and artificial intelligences: to human-technology relationships, control, and technological determinism. It explores some Bordieuan implications and shows Bourdieu's relevance for theories of postdigital human capital. The paper then shows that many traditional theories of human capital are mere approximations of their more complex postdigital counterparts. The conclusion argues that the struggle for productive and fulfilling human-technology relationships simultaneously takes place on a micro-level and on a macro-level. The paper concludes that postdigital theories of human capital can significantly contribute to this struggle, and points towards future research directions.
