Book Review - THE AGE OF SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM BY SHOSHANA ZUBOFF
Abstract
In The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Shoshana Zuboff presents a compelling and deeply researched examination of how digital corporations have transformed personal data into a powerful economic resource. The book argues that a new form of capitalism has emerged in which human experience itself is treated as raw material for data extraction, prediction, and behavioral modification. Zuboff contends that this model fundamentally alters the relationship between individuals, markets, and democratic institutions.
