About this ebook

Praise for The Age of Surveillance Capi- talism “The defining challenge for the future of the market economy is the concentration of data, knowledge, and surveillance power. Not just our privacy but our individuality is at stake, and this very readable and thought-provoking book alerts us to these existential dangers. Highly recommended.” —Daron Acemoglu, coauthor of Why Nations Fail “Zuboff’s expansive, erudite, deeply researched exploration of digital futures elucidates the norms and hidden terminal goals of information-intensive industries. Zuboff’s book is the information industry’s Silent Spring.” —Chris Hoofnagle, University of California, Berkeley “A panoramic exploration of one of the most urgent issues of our times, Zuboff reinterprets contemporary capitalism through the prism of the digital revolution, producing a book of immense ambition and erudi- tion. Zuboff is one of our most prescient and pro- found thinkers on the rise of the digital. In an age of inane Twitter soundbites and narcissistic Facebook posts, Zuboff’s serious scholarship is great cause for celebration.” —Andrew Keen, author of How to Fix the Future “From the very first page I was consumed with an overwhelming imperative: everyone needs to read this book as an act of digital self-defense. With tremendous lucidity and moral courage, Zuboff demonstrates not only how our minds are being mined for data but also how they are being rapidly and radically changed in the process. The hour is late and much has been lost already—but as we learn in these indispensable pages, there is still hope for emancipation.” —Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and No Logo, and Gloria Steinem Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies at Rutgers University “Zuboff is a strikingly original voice, simultaneously bold and wise, eloquent and passionate, learned and accessible. Read this book to understand the inner workings of today’s digital capitalism, its threats to twenty-first-century society, and the reforms we must

THE DEFINITION
Sur-veil-lance Cap-i-tal-ism, n.
1. A new economic order that claims human expe-
rience as free raw material for hidden commercial
practices of extraction, prediction, and sales; 2. A
parasitic economic logic in which the production of
goods and services is subordinated to a new global
architecture of behavioral modification; 3. A rogue
mutation of capitalism marked by concentrations of
wealth, knowledge, and power unprecedented in
human history; 4. The foundational framework of a
surveillance economy; 5. As significant a threat to
human nature in the twenty-first century as industrial
capitalism was to the natural world in the nineteenth
and twentieth; 6. The origin of a new instrumentarian
power that asserts dominance over society and
presents startling challenges to market democracy; 7.
A movement that aims to impose a new collective
order based on total certainty; 8. An expropriation of
critical human rights that is best understood as a
coup from above: an overthrow of the people’s
sovereignty.
