About The Event
Join Shoshana Zuboff for a fascinating talk about the unprecedented form of power called “surveillance capitalism” and the quest by corporations to predict and control our behavior. In our current age of social media and smart devices, we are under 24-hour surveillance. From the time we wake up using our phone’s alarm to the dinner we eat based on a Yelp search, data on our private human experience is constantly being collected and sold—often with our consent. Zuboff shines a light on this invisible yet pervasive force that knows everything about us, while we know very little about it. If you tweet, post, shop, drive, sleep, or eat, this is an essential conversation that will likely change the way you think about these activities. After all, it’s not just our privacy that is threatened by surveillance capitalism, but democracy itself.
