Shoshana Zuboff is an American author and scholar. She is the author of the books In the Age of the Smart Machine: The Future of Work and Power and The Support Economy: Why Corporations Are Failing Individuals and the Next Episode of Capitalism, co-authored with James Maxmin.
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.
In this masterwork of original thinking and research, Shoshana Zuboff provides startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes could not be higher: a global architecture of behavior modification threatens human nature in the twenty-first century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the twentieth.
Zuboff vividly brings to life the consequences as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into every economic sector. Vast wealth and power are accumulated in ominous new "behavioral futures markets," where predictions about our behavior are bought and sold, and the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new "means of behavioral modification."
The threat has shifted from a totalitarian Big Brother state to a ubiquitous digital architecture: a "Big Other" operating in the interests of surveillance capital. Here is the crucible of an unprecedented form of power marked by extreme concentrations of knowledge and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff's comprehensive and moving analysis lays bare the threats to twenty-first century society: a controlled "hive" of total connection that seduces with promises of total certainty for maximum profit--at the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future.
With little resistance from law or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future--if we let it.

這麼簡單的道理,講得如……此……嘮……叨……
評分非常好的警醒,堪稱21世紀的資本論。看此書的時候逐漸明瞭民主的脆弱和重要性。與其杠民主找歐洲以外的經驗,還不如想想該如何不被民族主義濛瞭雙眼,努力挽救和完善這個人類曆史上絕無僅有的還民眾以自由的精神。
評分冗長。但是可以收藏作為reference
評分剩餘價值的概念已經夠纍贅瞭,非要在此基礎上發揮就更牽強瞭。除瞭sensationalize實在不是一個有效優美的闡釋框架,雖然作者有比肩韋伯塗爾乾的野心,但基本上隻能當史料書翻翻。。。
