It's not that the work is never done, it's just that most of what we really work on computers is actually made-up bullshit and doesn't really connect to producing actual material things. (You earn money for it though, but money is as immaterial as it gets... and then you get to spend the majority of it on rent, education, healthcare, and various services, which are also all immaterial things.) Actual production seemed to have disappeared in today's neoliberal societies: they're either relegated to the Third World, or automated enough for not that many people to participate in. But the twist is: the nostalgia of productive "down-to-earth" work now becomes a captivating force, but that is exactly what the current system wants to provide you with the fantasy of work.
