How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism by Cory Doctorow
Requirements: .PDF reader, 5.9 MB
Overview: For years, we’ve been hearing about the ills of surveillance capitalism — the business of extracting, collecting, and selling vast reams of user data that exploded with the rise of tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. But what if everything we’ve been hearing is wrong? What if surveillance capitalism is not some rogue capitalism or a wrong turn taken by some misguided corporations? What if the system is working exactly as intended — and the only hope of restoring an open web is to take the fight directly to the system itself?
OneZero, Medium’s official technology publication, is thrilled to offer this Kindle edition of How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism by Cory Doctorow. First published online in August, it was an instant hit. In Doctorow’s timely and crucial work, the internationally bestselling author argues if we want to end surveillance capitalism, we have to end the monopolies behind the commercial web as we know it. Only by breaking apart the tech giants that control our online experiences can we hope to return to an open and free web — one where predatory data-harvesting is not a founding principle.
