Surveillance capitalism is the business of taking people's data and turning it into profits.
-All aspects of the human experience are turned into data and sold to a variety of businesses for a variety of reasons.
- Prior changes to capitalism helped loosen regulations and change attitudes for the online age.
- Early concerns about online privacy were dashed in favor of loose surveillance laws.
- Google's street view and Glass operations are great examples of outrage turning to acceptance
- Surveillance capitalism is getting more granular in their data collection
- Surveillance capitalists hope to identify key moments of sensitivity in order to increase the chances of purchase and behavior modification.
- The invasive, all-controlling future of surveillance capitalism doesn't have to be seen as inevitable
- Surveillance capitalism isn't "inevitable" and people aren't ready and willing to give up privacy in the name of convenience.

This book felt important, but it was a real slog to get through. There is a lot of interesting food for thought here, and it exposes and analyzes a lot of truly disturbing practices and trends, but it also appears overly alarmist at times, employing hysterically hyperbolic language to describe things that seem obviously terrible to the author, without having convincingly made the case. It has nonetheless inspired me to add some additional privacy-related extensions to my browser, and I will think carefully before installing any new unnecessarily internet-connected devices in my home (while continuing to use the ones I have, though).

"Olvídense del tópico de que si algo es gratis, es porque ustedes son el producto. Ustedes no son el producto; son el cadáver abandonado. El «producto» es lo que se fabrica con el excedente que han arrancado de sus vidas."

Massive, but worth the time
This is a massive text veering between technology, psychology, economics, history, and philosophy. I admit my attention strayed depending on the perspective and I predict this would be the case for most readers. All things considered, I found it a good use of my time and a resource addressing a very important topic. While not a criticism, if you purchase this source, be prepared to invest some time.

some chapters were better than others, I specifically lost the thread a little bit around chapter 10, and part III was not as strong as parts I and II. very interesting overall though. I'll recommend widely. I agree with Zuboff's poli sci analysis but when she gets into psychology i find she gets a bit generalistic.
Det var en skjebnens ironi at jeg leste denne på Amazon-produktet Kindle og at Kindlen avgikk ved døden etter et dytt utfor en bassengkant da jeg var i gang med de siste kapitlene…
