About the Book:  "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 twenty-first century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the twentieth... 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." (publisher's description)
