Annotated 'The goal is to automate us': welcome to the age of surveillance capitalism by John Naughton (the Guardian)

The Age of Surveillance Capital is a striking and illuminating book. A fellow reader remarked to me that it reminded him of Thomas Piketty’s magnum opus, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, in that it opens one’s eyes to things we ought to have noticed, but hadn’t. ❧

Of course it doesn’t hurt that both its size and the cover art are both reminiscent of the book as well.
