The work seeks to make use of an outline that allows analysis of the production, circulation, and consumption of communication networks dominated/called by algorithms, especially regarding the effects of these networks on the (re)configuration of digital subjectivity. To this end, it seeks in Michel Foucault, from the notion of the political economy of truth, and in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, with the notion of the rhizome, to characterize the dimensions that materialize the network of devices of control societies.
