We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules.

Histoire
In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials, and other efforts to harvest our attention. Over the last century, few times or spaces have remained uncultivated by the "attention merchants", contributing to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times. Tim Wu argues that this is not simply the byproduct of recent inventions, but the end result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention.

Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.

Thomas Piketty’s best-selling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.

Histoire
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

In Survival of the Richest, Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, AI futurism, and the metaverse. In a dozen urgent, electrifying chapters, he confronts tech utopianism, the datafication of all human interaction, and the exploitation of that data by corporations. Through fascinating characters, Rushkoff explains why those with the most power to change our current trajectory have no interest in doing so.

You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In his important new audiobook, Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms behind before it’s too late. Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us towards richer and fuller way of living and connecting.

Histoire
Neoliberalism - the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action - has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Writing for a wide audience, David Harvey, author of The New Imperialism and The Condition of Postmodernity, here tells the political-economic story of where neoliberalization came from and how it proliferated on the world stage.

Description
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 21st century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the 20th. 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 21st-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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
An International Bestseller
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
A Financial Times Best Book of the Year
A Sunday Times (UK) Best Business Book of the Year
Selected by Barack Obama, Zadie Smith (in the Wall Street Journal), Jia Tolentino (in the New Yorker), Elif Shafak (in the Guardian), and Ana Botin (in Bloomberg) as one of the best books of 2019
Finalist for the Financial Times/McKinsey Best Book of the Year Award
"If a book's importance is gauged by how effectively it describes the world we're in, and how much potential it has to change said world, then in my view it's easily the most important book to be published this century... Zuboff is concerned with the largest act of capitalist colonisation ever attempted, but the colonisation is of our minds, our behaviour, our free will, our very selves. Yet it's not an anti-tech book. It's anti unregulated capitalism, red in tooth and claw. It's really this generation's Das Kapital."—Zadie Smith
"Extraordinarily intelligent... Absorbing Zuboff's methodical determination, the way she pieces together sundry examples into this comprehensive work of scholarship and synthesis, requires patience, but the rewards are considerable - a heightened sense of awareness, and a deeper appreciation of what's at stake. A business model that seeks growth by cataloging our 'every move, emotion, utterance and desire' is too radical to be taken for granted. As Zuboff repeatedly says near the end of the book, 'It is not O.K.'"—Jennifer Szalai, NEW YORK TIMES
"The rare volume that puts a name on a problem just as it becomes critical... This book's major contribution is to give a name to what's happening, to put it in cultural and historical perspective, and to ask us to pause long enough to think about the future and how it might be different from today."—Frank Rose, WALL STREET JOURNAL

Excellent message but very hard to consume
Quick review: The message is excellent and the subject matter important, but it is very repetitive and the narration is monotone. This made it impossible for me to get past the 5hr mark. When I realized I had 18hrs left I just couldn’t do it.

Verbose and pretentious
What could easily be communicated in simple terms in an entertaining way instead is a mental exercise in verbal comprehension that only a fraction of the population will be capable of mining for insights. At times there are some aha moments but they're quickly overshadowed by the authors attempt to sound smart.

A must read. This will be textbook material in thirty years.
Did you know that google street view cars logged on to unencrypted wifi networks and downloaded all available data?
Did you know that roomba vacuum cleaners map your floor then sell your floor plan data?
Did you know that google Homes offer free telephone service so that your audio can be recorded and transcribed and fed to machine learning so google can better predict your behaviour?
Did you know that Machine learning AIs can calculate your personality score as accurately as psychologists, track your mood and predict your behaviour in order to target tailored adds to you when you are most permissible? Facebook bragged about their ability to identify vulnerable high school students to potential investors in Australia.
Did you know that Facebook tracked over 700 million reads of factually false "fake news" articles during the 2016 US elections? They had the capacity to identify and remove these, but they operate under what Zuboff calls "radical indifference" where driving traffic and collecting data are more important than preventing Anti-democratic actions even if taken by foreign governments.
Did you know that Facebook performed experiments demonstrating that they can actively change users moods by manipulating their news and instagram feeds? This allows them to not only target advertising but also manipulate users into a more permissive state.
This book is what would happen if Naomi Kline wrote about Facebook and Google. Fascinating, horrifying and chock full of important information. Zuboff Writes in a style similar to Kline, but with less self reflection and a more explicit structure while crafting a fluid synthesis of philosophical considerations and historical facts starting from the inception of data mining at the origins of Google covering everything from developmental psychology to the origins of totalitarianism to a treatise on BF Skinner's work and projections on the future.
I'm going to buy a paper copy of this book so I can read it more carefully.
Nicol Zanzarella is one of my favourite narrators for non-fiction. Excellent performance and pacing.

Intense and detailed analysis
Zuboff presents an intense and detailed analysis of the ability of tech companies like google and facebook to extract surplus behavioural value through their all encompassing systems of surveillance capitalism. They make massive profits by exploiting the effective legal-free zone that currently exists in terms of digital world. Throughout Zuboff asks "who knows, who decides, and who decides who decides". The answers are pretty disheartening, but also still unknown. This is the beginning of this story, as she tells us at the end of this long and sometimes overwhelming book. There are some tips on how we can be the friction in this story of the seemingly untrammeled power and free reign of the tech giants, but overall I felt a bit overwhelmed and powerless at the end of this read. I would recommend it though for anyone who wants to know how this unchecked power is threatening our autonomy, freedom and ability to make our own futures.

This one’s for the academics
This book brings up some really fascinating and important points! However I think it’s important to point out that the author is a long standing Harvard professor and the book reads as one extremely long academic article. If you have experience with or enjoy consuming academic styles of writing or have a background in this subject matter I would definitely recommend this book! Unfortunately I don’t think the general masses will find the information in this book easy to consume which is sad as there are many important points for the public to consider.
The audio recording also has a bit of a robotic vibrato to it. It was easy to get over eventually but distracting at first.

Lengthy, detailed, repetitive
While a thorough demonstration of the mechanisms and effects of surveillance capitalism, the author could have essentially said the same thing and conveyed the same urgency with half the words. It’s interesting, but a more succinct argument would have been more convincing

A heavy read (listen), but worthwhile.
The author effectively develops a complex, multi-part thesis. it is not always easy to follow; and, the language tends to the dramatic. However, it is worth the effort.
