I recently recorded a two-hour-long conversation with Shoshana Zuboff, whose book on surveillance capitalism has stirred the debate around the economy growing out of data capture and manipulation. We’ll release the podcast episode with Shoshana on Wednesday, June 19. There are many fascinating bits we won’t have a chance to air publicly, and I’d like to share one of those with you now.

Do spend a few minutes to listen to this—and I’d love your comments below.

To give you some context, Shoshana and I discussed the following prior to delving into the role of Apple in surveillance capitalism:

  • What is surveillance capitalism and how is it different from capitalism as it is normally understood?

  • Prediction products and the emergence of a market in behavioural futures.

  • Why frameworks around notice and consent in data sharing are a sham.

  • The evolution of Google as the first surveillance capitalist.

  • Economics of scale, scope and action as forms of harm.
