London: Profile Books. 691 pp. Paperback thick large trade, very good condition, minor edgewear, old price marks front free flyleaf (covered by small sticker). Shoshana Zuboff (social psychologist, emeritus professor Harvard Business School) has extensively studied how tech companies such as Google are gradually taking control of data and information, and making money out of it, to the detriment of democracy, society, politics and business. She has coined the 'surveillance capitalism' for this phenomenon. This is the main challenge posed by our digital future. The heady optimism of the early days of the internet are gone. Technologies that were meant to liberate us have deepened inequality and stoked divisions. Tech companies gather our information online and sell it to the highest bidder, whether government or retailer. Profits now depend not only on predicting our behaviour but also modifying it. This book is a deeply-reasoned examination of the threat of unprecedented power free from democratic oversight. The book also shows how we can protect ourselves and our communities and ensure we are the masters of the digital rather than its slaves. ISBN/ASIN: 9781781256855. Our Book No: 18120. $20 AUD.
