Download Audiobook The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff in English

DESCRIPTION

The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the primary detailed examination of the unprecedented type of energy known as “surveillance capitalism”, and the hunt by highly effective firms to foretell and management our habits.On this masterwork of unique considering and analysis, Shoshana Zuboff gives startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes couldn’t be increased: a worldwide structure of habits modification threatens human nature within the Twenty first century simply as industrial capitalism disfigured the pure world within the twentieth. Zuboff vividly brings to life the implications as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into each financial sector. Huge wealth and energy are gathered in ominous new “behavioral futures markets”, the place predictions about our habits are purchased and offered, and the manufacturing of products and companies is subordinated to a brand new “technique of behavioral modification”. The risk has shifted from a totalitarian Massive Brother state to a ubiquitous digital structure: a “Massive Different” working within the pursuits of surveillance capital. Right here is the crucible of an unprecedented type of energy marked by excessive concentrations of information and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff’s complete and transferring evaluation lays naked the threats to Twenty first-century society: a managed “hive” of whole connection that seduces with guarantees of whole certainty for optimum revenue – on the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future. With little resistance from legislation or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future – if we let it. PLEASE NOTE: Whenever you buy this title, the accompanying PDF will probably be out there in your Audible Library together with the audio.
