Re: <nettime> John Naughton on Shoshana Zuboff: 'The goal is to automate us': welcome to the age of surveillance capitalism


E. Morozov's long take is at
https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov

Tl;Dr:

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism’s most pronounced shortcomings have to
do with the relationship it establishes between capitalism and surveillance
capitalism—as well as the way in which it prioritizes the problems of this
new market form over those of capitalism itself.
...
By seeking to explicate, and denounce, the novel dynamics of surveillance
capitalism, Zuboff normalizes too much in capitalism itself.
