Everyone was waiting for someone to write the story of the new ruling class. Zuboff has written what will be one of the most historical publications.
She demonstrates how Big Tech has built an economic logic of accumulation by dispossession using mass surveillance. They got rich and became the most powerful companies in the world by stealing and selling our data, subverting the rule of democratic law for two decades.
The criminally insane surveillance capitalists, Google, Apple, Facebook and others have betrayed the American people. Anyone in the world may now have details about our entire lives. The damages are insane. We no longer trust them. Democracy and Regulation is the only solution and it's what they fear more than anything.
I would go further recommending that we nationalize Big Tech and write laws to oversee them with Democratic controls and elected officials.
Thank You Shoshana. We love you.
