[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Feb 25 Author Talk on "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism"

[Michael Alexander]

Thanks, Mitch.
Although I haven’t read Prof. Zuboff’s book, I read her long article that appeared in the Jan. 26th NY Times Sunday Review section (print edition).  Its on-line version has the title, “You Are Now Remotely Controlled”.  It’s very good, and I recommend it.  It unmade my day.

To All:
 
 At Wellesley College, Shoshana Zuboff will be discussing her book on The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.
 
 The event is free but you need to get tickets in advance. I read the book last summer from a library loan. The book contains a lot of repetitive history, but the last chapters talk about recent developments and possible future scenarios.

 "Shoshana Zuboff, professor emerita at Harvard Business School, discusses her latest book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. In this critically acclaimed work, Zuboff shows how our economy, politics, and society are increasingly being shaped by digital technologies. In her view, surveillance capitalism—a concept she coined—defines the current age in which we’ve all opted into the commodification of our personal information. Throughout the book, she outlines the cost of putting a price on private data, and she urges all of us to pay attention, resist habituation, and come up with novel responses to a new era."  -- Mitchmwolfe at vinebrook.com ===============================================
