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

3.0

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).
