DESCRIPTION

The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the primary detailed examination of the unprecedented type of energy referred to as “surveillance capitalism”, and the hunt by highly effective companies to foretell and management our conduct.On this masterwork of authentic pondering and analysis, Shoshana Zuboff supplies startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes couldn’t be increased: a world structure of conduct 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 results as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into each financial sector. Huge wealth and energy are collected in ominous new “behavioral futures markets”, the place predictions about our conduct are purchased and bought, and the manufacturing of products and providers is subordinated to a brand new “technique of behavioral modification”. The risk has shifted from a totalitarian Large Brother state to a ubiquitous digital structure: a “Large Different” working within the pursuits of surveillance capital. Right here is the crucible of an unprecedented type of energy marked by excessive concentrations of data and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff’s complete and transferring evaluation lays naked the threats to Twenty first-century society: a managed “hive” of complete connection that seduces with guarantees of complete certainty for max revenue – on the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future. With little resistance from regulation or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future – if we let it. PLEASE NOTE: While you buy this title, the accompanying PDF can be obtainable in your Audible Library together with the audio.
