零工经济的发展为大卫·哈维等人的政治空间学说增加了新的技术意义。资本主义在新技术的加持下完成了独特的时空扩张，通过资本、数字规则和科层管理三大要素寄宿于互联网时代的技术系统内，形成了具备更强扩张性的新系统。该系统能够在全球范围内做到瞬时、广域的劳动力低洼空间搜索，形成经济地理上的“中心—边缘”结构，并采用形式空间自由榨取劳动力的时间投入，改写了传统劳动的时空形态，形成新类型的时空掠夺。

The development of the gig economy has added new technical significance to the political space theory of David Harvey et al. With the blessing of new technologies, capitalism has completed a unique expansion in time and space. Through the three major elements of capital, digital rules and bureaucratic management, it has been lodged in the technological system of the Internet era, forming a new system with greater scalability. The system can achieve instantaneous, wide-area labor search in low-lying space on a global scale, forming a “center-periphery” structure in economic geography. Meanwhile it uses formal space to freely squeeze labor’s time input, rewrites the time and space pattern of traditional labor, and forms a new type of space-time plunder.
