In the middle of the 19th century, Marx noticed the emerging new form of labor, universal (automated) labor. Its development and contradiction with the capitalist mode of production fostered several significant changes in modern society, called “post-industrial” by some theorists. Contemporary society is complicated. Although capitalism is still dominant, some modern tendencies cannot be considered capitalist. Universal labor brings with it the interesting problem of measuring its results, because the frames of commodity value do not suit them. Our goal is to connect the new forms of labor with fundamental changes in the essence of value. We suggest a hypothesis of transition from commodity value to informational value, due to the key features of universal labor.
