The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is a deeply-reasoned examination of the threat of unprecedented power free from democratic oversight. Our choices: allow technology to enrich the few and impoverish the many, or harness it and distribute its benefits. We still have the power to decide what kind of world we want to live in, and what we decide now will shape the rest of the century. How will this fusion of capitalism and the digital shape our values and define our future? Shoshana Zuboff shows that we are at a crossroads. Profits now depend not only on predicting our behaviour but modifying it too. Tech companies gather our information online and sell it to the highest bidder, whether government or retailer. Technologies that were meant to liberate us have deepened inequality and stoked divisions. The heady optimism of the Internet's early days is gone. I find it hard to take any young activist seriously who hasn't at least familarised themselves with Zuboff's central ideas.' - Zadie Smith, The Guardian The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control us.
