Given the distinct spatial characteristics of the internal structure of labor, Marx used the factory as the spatial foothold of his theory of surplus labor. Now, with the advent of the digital age, the physical factories that mainly carried capitalist surplus labor in the past are facing many spatial dilemmas. Through digital labor, capitalism has carried out a new spatial configuration of surplus labor. Digital labor has created spatial convenience conditions for capitalist surplus labor from four aspects: spatial carrier, spatial medium, spatial production, and spatial governance. The reality of the digital lifestyle has made people contribute more time to various digital platforms and digital application programs dominated and manufactured by capitalism in addition to their daily necessary labor. The main body has evolved into an unpaid laborer monitored, disciplined, and controlled by capitalists in the digital space, and surplus labor has thus initiated its own digital transition. Digital technology and digital infrastructure have profoundly reshaped the distribution of labor space and labor relations in various fields of the real world. Capitalism has constructed a planet factory for its own use and control globally through digital labor. This factory has no location because it is everywhere, no rest days because it never stops, and no hired workers because everyone can become its worker.
