Alors que le progrès technologique a toujours été vu comme l'horizon d'une libération du travail, notre société moderne repose en grande partie sur l'aliénation de la majorité des employés de bureau. Beaucoup sont amenés à dédier leur vie à des tâches inutiles, sans réel intérêt et vides de sens, tout en ayant pleinement conscience de la superficialité de leur contribution à la société.
