Surveillance Capitalism: How Silicon Valley Profits from Tracking Us
In the modern age of Facebook, Google, and smart devices, most of us are under 24-hour surveillance. These data points are collected by large tech companies and are in turn sold to and used by governments and businesses alike to influence our behavior.
