Shoshana Zuboff, Harvard Business School professor emerita, discusses her new book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power with moderator Christopher Lydon, radio host of WBUR’s Open Source.
The Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal was just a glimpse of the ways big tech companies exploit personal data without our knowledge, and how those data are used to shape our behavior.

THE AGE OF SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM reveals what is at stake for our digital future and how we can reclaim control by harnessing the power of indignant citizens, journalists and policymakers.
