|
_Surveillance capitalism is neither a necessary development of information
|
||
|
capitalism nor a necessary product of digital technology or the internet. It is
|
||
|
a specifically constructed human choice, an unprecedented market form, an
|
||
|
original solution to an emergency, and the underlying mechanism through which a
|
||
|
new asset class is created on the cheap and converted to revenue._
