The Baffler
Capitalism’s New Clothes
The Baffler
Summary · From 2019 · What works and what doesn’t in Shoshana Zuboff’s tome The Age of Surveillance Capitalism? Writing for left-wing magazine The Baffler, science historian Evgeny Morozov evaluates Zuboff’s writing through the lens of rigorous critical inquiry. In his long article, he considers the book on its own merits; in terms of how its proclamations stand up against political, economic and cultural theories; and in comparison with Zuboff’s other books. Morozov brings an authoritative, well-informed (occasionally humorous) voice that’s an excellent complement to the book. His review is also a fascinating stand-alone analysis, appropriate for anyone interested in how the concept of surveillance capitalism applies to the intersection of capitalism, IT and privacy. · Shared by 111, including Michael Seemann, Grzegorz Wapiński, Nico Luchsinger, Liv 😷, ɐpuɐʎᴉW ᴉʇɐʍɥǝN, getAbstract, Jochen Burkhard, Steve Rayson, Romain Lalanne
