-      Our devices and services gather most of the data that the NSA
-      mines for its surveillance project. We pay for these devices and
-      the services they connect to, and then we painstakingly perform
-      the data-entry tasks associated with logging facts about our
-      lives, opinions, and preferences.

-      Thanks to Big Tech, Surveillance capitalism is everywhere.  This
-      is not because it is really good at manipulating our behaviour,
-      or the rogue abuse of corporate power.  It is the result of
-      unchecked monopolism and the abusive behavior it abets.  It is
-      the system working as intended and expected.  Cory Doctorow has
-      written an extended critique of Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of
-      Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New
-      Frontier of Power, with a non-magical analysis of the problem
-      leading to a different proposal for a solution.
+      The Science Fiction author, journalist and technology activist
+      Cory Doctorow have a look at what really is behind "Surveillance
+      Capitalism" and what should be done to stop it.
