Essential reading on tech power and freedom

Description

Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism examines how tech companies gather and monetize personal data to predict and shape behavior, and the consequences for democracy, society, and the future of information. It argues that surveillance capitalism concentrates power and calls for democratic oversight and collective action to protect individuals and communities in the digital era.
