About this book

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff is a groundbreaking non-fiction book that delves into the digital landscape and the emergence of a new form of power: surveillance capitalism. Zuboff meticulously examines how powerful corporations, including giants like Google and Amazon, predict and control our behavior by accumulating vast amounts of data.

In this era, our lives are increasingly shaped by algorithms, behavioral predictions, and the commodification of our personal information. Zuboff’s work sheds light on the threats posed by this phenomenon, emphasizing the need for democratic oversight and the preservation of human freedom.
