What are vectors and how does the vectoralist class use them to derive value from what is produced in society?

McKenzie Wark argues that capitalism has been transformed into a new or different arrangement of power and technology
that involves what she calls the vectoralist class and the hacker class. Analyze and critique. What does Wark mean? What are vectors and how does the vectoralist class use them to derive value from what is produced in society? Who are the
hackers, and how do the hackers enable the vectoralists to expand both their profits and their power? How are all people in
society part of this new productive arrangement? As discussed in lecture, precarity, as it is often called, leads to the possible
rise of a precariat that replaces or overlaps with the traditional proletariat. What does this mean and what are the
implications? Can we ever get out of this? Do we ever want to get out? How? To put it another way, how are we all
commodified, and what does that mean in terms of any possible liberation or exit from this system? Are we all just dividuals,
insisting nevertheless that our individuality defines us? Explain.
