March's Not Fiction Book Discussion

 

In this month's discussion, we'll talk about the evolution of capitalism as described in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff. Zuboff, the Charles Edward Wilson Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School and a former Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, argues that through internet platforms we interact with every day, our private lives have become a free raw material that "surveillance capitalists" exploit without regulation to predict and shape human behavior. They are the new conquistadors and Gilded Age industrialists of the 21st century.
