The aim of this study is to explore how young people are influenced by the work society, what the subjectification process looks like and how the subject position affects their experience of them self and their agency. Moreover, this study has a discourse analytical approach as well as a critical approach to work and work society. We conducted semi-structured interviews with five youths between 18 and 24 years old. Thematic analysis and Carol Bacchi’s WPR approach have been used to analyze the data, which resulted in five themes. The themes represent different aspects of how young people form themselves as subjects of value and labour in the work society. The main findings are that there is a fear of failure included in the subject position, as well as a perceived need to work on yourself to achieve the goals that are formulated through the current neoliberal discourse of modern work society. Thus, in the modern labour market, young people must cultivate themselves as subjects of labour.

Today (2014), software is the key ingredient of most products and services. Software generates innovation and progress in many modern industries. Software is an indispensable element of evolution, of quality of life, and of our future. Software development is (slowly) evolving from a craft to an industrial discipline. Software – and the ability to efficiently produce and evolve high-quality software – is the single most important success factor for many highly competitive industries. Software technology, development methods and tools, and applications in more and more areas are rapidly evolving. The impact of software in 2025 in nearly all areas of life, work, relationships, culture, and society is expected to be massive. The question of the future of software is therefore important. However – like all predictions – quite difficult. Some market forces, industrial developments, social needs, and technology trends are visible today. How will they develop and influence the software we will have in 2025?:Impact of Heterogeneous Processor Architectures and Adaptation Technologies on the Software of 2025 (Kay Bierzynski) 9 Facing Future Software Engineering Challenges by Means of Software Product Lines (David Gollasch) 19 Capabilities of Digital Search and Impact on Work and Life in 2025 (Christina Korger) 27 Transparent Components for Software Systems (Paul Peschel) 37 Functionality, Threats and Influence of Ubiquitous Personal Assistants with Regard to the Society (Jonas Rausch) 47 Evolution-driven Changes of Non-Functional Requirements and Their Architecture (Hendrik Schön) 57

Master's thesis Polyamory Design Unit (PDU) explores the possibilities of collaboration between experts being active in fine arts, product design, graphic design, architecture and philosophy in order to create a speculative future scenario. Together with Jana Trundova, Simon Barak, Ondrej Mohyla and Lukas Likavcan, I create the concept and the presentation structure for a housing complex, which is designed for polyamoric coexistence of human and non-human entities. Such a coexistence is made possible by full automation of work and global implementation of universal basic income. These initial parameters constitute a big emancipatory potential, that could change present meaning of the concept of polyamory and thus redefine networks of relations in bigger scales too.
