description In this study we investigate the Marxist approach to information society which helps to correct its description as a society of knowledge, where mental labor displaces manual labor. The new type of labor is a special form of general work discovered by K. Marx. It deals with material virtual reality (information, software products, active content). Virtual reality is a new form of objective reality which interacts with subjective reality closer than other forms of matter. Virtual reality acquires some qualities similar to the main qualities of subjective reality. It is possible to call them “quasi ideality” and “quasi subjectivity”. Computer labor is the creation of abstract material structures which form virtual reality. Consequently, there is no “dematerialization” of labor in information society. The new form of matter, created by humans and the new forms of material labor (general work) both influence such social processes as class struggle, interaction between different forms of labor, etc.
