An interesting read and good wake-up call to alert people to the subtle but increasing dangers to privacy and freedom in the information age.

Somewhere in these 700 pages is a top-class 250 page book.
There's far too much repetition, coining of terms, and maybe even downright conspiracy theory.
There's a lot of well researched truths in hear, struggling to get out from over-reading, over-statement, over-interpretation, and side issues that feel irrelevant.

Required reading for anyone who plans to 1) be alive for the foreseeable future 2) not be complicit in the oppression of yourself and, more importantly, millions of others who are far more vulnerable than you and are being systematically surveilled, tracked, hunted down, caged, tortured, and disappeared.

This is not hyperbolic. I’m dead serious and I have receipts.

A great dive into the current state of our digital lives. Zuboff examines the technology, the corporate powers, the politics, philosophy and social psychology of today's invasive digital world. She weaves these concepts together such that you gain a big picture view of our current state with detail that gives unwavering support thereof.

Four stars for the writing, the ideas contained, the research and the intensity of her message. But undeniably, a slog is the biggest word I can use to describe this book. The first section was amazing, and the last three chapters were great, but that middle part.... ooph.
