The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.
In this masterwork of original thinking and research, Shoshana Zuboff provides startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes could not be higher: a global architecture of behavior modification threatens human nature in the twenty-first century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the twentieth.
Zuboff vividly brings to life the consequences as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into every economic sector. Vast wealth and power are accumulated in ominous new "behavioral futures markets," where predictions about our behavior are bought and sold, and the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new "means of behavioral modification."
The threat has shifted from a totalitarian Big Brother state to a ubiquitous digital architecture: a "Big Other" operating in the interests of surveillance capital. Here is the crucible of an unprecedented form of power marked by extreme concentrations of knowledge and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff's comprehensive and moving analysis lays bare the threats to twenty-first century society: a controlled "hive" of total connection that seduces with promises of total certainty for maximum profit--at the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future.
With little resistance from law or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future--if we let it.
Shoshana Zuboff is an American author and scholar. She is the author of the books In the Age of the Smart Machine: The Future of Work and Power and The Support Economy: Why Corporations Are Failing Individuals and the Next Episode of Capitalism, co-authored with James Maxmin.

這麼簡單的道理,講得如……此……嘮……叨……
评分廢話連篇,感覺整本書的篇幅可以壓縮1/3,沒必要同樣的觀點換個說法換個例子反復提,讀者又不是傻子。而且能不能彆大段引用大佬們的發言啊,作者能有一點歸納能力嗎!通過“監視資本主義”和“工具化”,作者給齣瞭一套清晰的框架解釋如今我們生活的這個美麗新世界是怎樣實現的,我們為免費和便捷付齣的代價是什麼,我們的未來是怎樣的,與工業資本主義相比,監視資本主義有哪三大不同,監視資本下的“工具主義”本質上是一種極權主義等等,這些論述雖然都是新瓶裝舊酒但也還算精彩。多給一星希望每個人都能讀一讀這方麵的書。
评分非常好的主題,可惜被作者和編輯毀瞭。很少讀到組織得這麼差的一本書,隻不過因為有不少可看的內容(以榖歌、臉書為代錶的商業對guaranteed outcome 的追求,社交媒體對行為的影響,整齊劃一的社會導緻個人主義的迷失, 等等),纔堅持看完。
评分我當年寫畢業論文的時候參考瞭許多Zuboff的文章,但是當時我的老師們都沒聽說過她,突然發現這本書的評價是masterwork我就淡定瞭。
评分剩餘價值的概念已經夠纍贅瞭,非要在此基礎上發揮就更牽強瞭。除瞭sensationalize實在不是一個有效優美的闡釋框架,雖然作者有比肩韋伯塗爾乾的野心,但基本上隻能當史料書翻翻。。。
