This book is intellectually bold, original, and cheeky. The arguments are cogent and substantive. It’s still relevant. Add this one to your canon.

Peace!

I’ve followed AH since her first book, It’s About Damn Time. This book as a follow up, does not disappoint. I was able to get an informative look behind the curtain so to speak of entrepreneurship and startup business funding, as well as wealth generation in general. I would highly suggest this book and her first one a well.

Many books on the business benefits of stories and building of creative practices in general tend not to be so actionable. This book was an outlier as it provided the reader with great insights that can be put into production right away. I highly suggest anyone interested in the topic to read this book for more details.

There are some books that contains reams of Insightful research but with very little discussion of how to leverage such knowledge actionably. This is not one of those books. There are many useful takeaways, not to mention the author’s website provides additional supporting resources. Even more so, the author makes a great case for healthy habit formation, as opposed to addiction, which the author notes is self-destructive, and ethical behavior design practices. But don’t take my word for it, read it yourself.

This book pick was a leap of faith. Fortunately, the book defied my expectations. The book had a public intellectual quality to it, not too brainy with several practical applications for improving decision making in human groups.

I had a sense of what I was getting when I pressed play. But in all honesty, I received way more. “Look back but don’t stare,” was one of my favorite quotes. I encourage this book to theater lovers, non-theater lovers, LGBTQ+, cisgender men and women, etc. Obviously this is not a book for children. But it is a good book nonetheless. Thanks for this gift Harvey.

Where do I start?

There is much I can say about this text. But before I do, let me advise that this book is but a breadcrumb. To truly grasp the nuances, you have to have a solid footing of capitalism as an economic system, as well as a historical phenomenon. The author reference’s Hayek’s work, especially The Road to Serfdom, as well as the work of B.F. Skinner, most notably on operant conditioning, Hannah Arendt, and Erving Goffman.

Once you have soaked up the aforementioned references, you notice a carefully crafted argument for a new species of capitalism rooted in a seemingly one sided quid pro quo.

Zuboff sheds light on the extractive practices of what she terms surveillance capitalists companies. The resulting aftermath is a widespread disappearance of private space, and the mining of human reality for profit via lengthy website access agreements.

Even if you think Zuboff repeats herself or if you think what she speaks of is capitalism already, I advise the reader to do themselves a favor and give it a listen. The arguments are compelling, if not a bit unsympathetic to capitalism in its raw form. I think there is a case for and against the claims raised. But don’t take my word for it, read it yourself.

I enjoyed the text. It was rich, well-researched, and insightful. It’s nice to know that the fault lines of feminism are addressed outside of black-white binaries.
