Shoshana Zuboff and The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

from The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show · host Garrett Ashley Mullet

Shoshana Zuboff's 2019 book 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power' is a long, hard read. But it reminds me of Proverbs 1:17.  "For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird..." While the facts and quotes and studies and history presented here are unpleasant to look at and realize, still more unpleasant to imagine is the prospect that all these things would be true and us not know anything about them.  For us to not know anything of them and yet uncritically participate in the grand social engineering experiment would be a disaster. Yet knowing what is being done to all of us, and what has been done, is halfway to undoing it and breaking the spell. And we must by God's grace break it.
