An exposé of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior
"Groundbreaking, magisterial, alarming." - Financial Times
The heady optimism of the Internet's early days has turned dark. Surveillance capitalism has deepened inequality, sown societal chaos, and undermined democracy.
The fight for a human future has never been more urgent. Shoshana Zuboff argues that we still have the power to decide what kind of world we want to live in: Will we allow surveillance capitalism to wrap us in its iron cage as it enriches the few and subjugates the many? Or will we demand the rights and laws that place this rogue power under the democratic rule of law? Only democracy can ensure that the vast new capabilities of the digital era are harnessed to the advancement of humanity. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is a deeply original, exquisitely reasoned, and spell binding examination of our emerging information civilization and the life and death choices we face.

Sharp analysis of the totalitarian greed of Google and Facebook etc and their theft of users' personal data. Certainly an attempt to wake-up people, from their sleep of compliance with the outrageous and surreptitious surveillance of their handys and computers. Good historical/social backgrounding of what Google and Facebook have perpetrated upon society.
Author can be a bit repetitive with rephrasing/restating of what has been adequately described earlier in the book, thus making the book overly long, I feel. But certainly deserves reading! This book needs reading by all politicians and should be used as the basis of government regulation and taxing of these outrageous U.S. capitalist monsters.
