Shoshana Zuboff on the Undetectable, Indecipherable World of Surveillance Capitalism

Sharing core norms and values
Aug 26, 2019 | Center for International Governance Innovation, Catherine Tsalikis

Surveillance capitalism differs from digital technology, but is increasingly seen as an economic logic that has hijacked the digital realm for its own purposes.  Its logic begins with unilaterally claims on private human experience as free raw material for production and sale. In this article for the Center for International Governance Innovation, Catherine Tsalikis comments on Shoshana Zuboff’s book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, which suggests that surveillance capitalism’s competitive dynamics and economic imperatives are on a collision course with democracy. Surveillance capitalists are powerful but have to fear citizens who insist on a different path. Both are bound together in assuring a digital future for democracy.
