The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff

1.0

---

There is nothing redeeming about this book - even for those inclined to agree with the author’s fury. The writing is… awful. The arguments are incoherent. And the direct comparisons of tech companies to conquistadors and nazis destroy what could otherwise be a reasoned discussion of some hard questions about the role of tech and advertising in our society.

For a better approach to these hard questions, Tim Wu is far better.
