Shoshana Zuboff

THE TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the FT Business Book of the Year Award 2019 'Easily the most important book to be published this century. I find it hard to take any young activist seriously who hasn't at least familarised themselves with Zuboff's central ideas.' - Zadie Smith, The Guardian 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 us. The heady optimism of the Internet's early days is gone. Technologies that were meant to liberate us have deepened inequality and stoked divisions. Tech companies gather our information online and sell it to the highest bidder, whether government or retailer. Profits now depend not only on predicting our behaviour but modifying it too. How will this fusion of capitalism and the digital shape our values and define our future? Shoshana Zuboff shows that we are at a crossroads. We still have the power to decide what kind of world we want to live in, and what we decide now will shape the rest of the century. Our choices: allow technology to enrich the few and impoverish the many, or harness it and distribute its benefits. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is a deeply-reasoned examination of the threat of unprecedented power free from democratic oversight. As it explores this new capitalism's impact on society, politics, business, and technology, it exposes the struggles that will decide both the next chapter of capitalism and the meaning of information civilization. Most critically, it shows how we can protect ourselves and our communities and ensure we are the masters of the digital rather than its slaves.

Workbook for the Age of Surveillance Capitalism

Surveillance capitalism is what happened when American democracy gifted the new digital terrain of the internet to private companies, enabling them to own and operate the information and communication spaces of global society. It produced mythic wealth and became the dominant economic paradigm in only two decades based on an extraordinary, brazen, audacious, and deeply antidemocratic idea: that predictions of human behaviour can be sold in bulk like tons of wheat or barrels of oil. The consequences have threatened the democratic order from above and below, weakening essential democratic institutions, displacing authentic social solidarity, and undermining individual capabilities associated with autonomy, common sense, and self-determination without which the democratic project is unimaginable.Just a few years since the publication of Zuboff's groundbreaking The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, the need for unflinching solutions has never been greater. Our democracies are under the kind of siege that can only be cured with new institutions, rights, and laws. This is an urgent call to action from one of the greatest thinkers of our time.

Untitled Shoshana Zuboff

Today’s “managerial” capitalism has grown hopelessly out of touch with the people it should be serving. The Support Economy explores the chasm between people and corporations and reveals a new society of individuals who seek relationships of advocacy and trust that provide support for their complex lives. Unlocking the wealth of these new markets can unleash the next great wave of wealth creation, but it requires a radically new approach—“distributed” capitalism. The Support Economy is a call to action for every citizen who cares about the future.

In Age Of Smart Mach

I detta mästerverk byggt på banbrytande tänkande och åratal av forskning skildrar Shoshana Zuboff fenomenet som hon döpt till övervakningskapitalismen. Vår digitala framtid har kidnappats av företagen från Silicon Valley som äger och styr internet. I den nya ekonomin är vi inte bara konsumenter, inte heller produkter vi är råvaran. Zuboff visar hur företag som Google och Facebook använder information om oss, inte bara till att förutspå vårt beteende och kunna skräddarsy innehåll och reklam, utan också till att påverka våra val som kunder, medborgare och människor. Motståndet mot övervakningskapitalismen har hittills varit svagt från både lagstiftarna och civilsamhället. Tills nu har vi villigt överlämnat våra ansikten, åsikter och vänskapsband till techbolagen, tänkt jag har inget att dölja . Men det är inte för sent att ta tillbaka makten, menar Zuboff och skriver: Om du inte har något att dölja, så är du ingenting. ...den viktigaste boken som ges ut det här århundradet. Zadie Smith Shoshana Zuboff har skrivit en lärd, intelligent och välresonerad bok som inte bara upplyser och skakar om, utan även ger oss en chans att bjuda motstånd mot den förfärliga nya verklighet som smugits på oss. Peter Englund

Vid maktens nya frontlinje

Övervakningskapitalismen

Med sine "gratis" tjenester har giganter som Google og Facebook gitt oss et tilbud vi ikke kunne takke nei til. Til gjengjeld forsyner de seg med enorme mengder data om vår oppførsel og preferanser, som de ganske uforstyrret selger videre til høystbydende. Det er dette Shoshana Zuboff kaller overvåkingskapitalisme, et fenomen som truer med å omforme samfunnet like mye som den industrielle revolusjonen gjorde på 1800-tallet. I overvåkingskapitalismens tid er vi ikke bare konsumenter, vi utgjør selve råvaren. Den skjulte og stadig mer sofistikerte bruken av dataene om oss bidrar ikke bare til å gi oss skreddersydd innhold og reklame. Den er blitt et verktøy til å forutsi og påvirke vår atferd, både som kunder, borgere og som velgere. Og den utgjør en mektig trussel mot så vel demokratiet som vår personlige frihet. Shoshana Zuboff er filosof, sosialpsykolog og professor emerita ved Harvard Business School. Hennes tre tidligere bøker har alle åpnet dører til ny forståelse av hvordan teknologien påvirker mennesket.

Overvåkingskapitalismens tidsalder

Overvågningskapitalismens tidsalder er en epokegørende og øjenåbnende gennemgang af den forretningsmodel, som den digitale verden bygger på. Shoshana Zuboff betegner fænomenet overvågningskapitalisme og kalder det for en lige så stor omvæltning af den menneskelige tilværelse i dag, som den industrielle revolution var det i det 20. århundrede. Shoshana Zuboff er amerikansk socialpsykolog, filosof og professor emerita på Harvard Business School samt ekspert i den digitale revolution. Hun har udgivet en lang række bøger i spændingsfeltet mellem teknologi, psykologi, filosofi og økonomi.
