This is an impressive text that guides the reader through the development of what the author proposes to be an anti-democratic and totalitarian form of capitalism, based on the new technology developments around data mining of people's behavior. The text provides stories and rich analyses to support the development of a rich vocabulary used to discuss surveillance capitalism and its consequences to society.
