To Read
"The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power" by Shoshana Zuboff. (Intro & Chapter 3)
This book delves into the concept of surveillance capitalism, analyzing how the commodification of personal data affects individuals' autonomy, leading to a form of digital alienation.
On Interviewing & Bias
Pay close attention to the section on interview’s bias
Supplemental Reading
If you have time, read Chapters 1 & 2 as well from Zuboff’s book.
To Watch
The intro music is terrible, but the interview is worth listening to (especially the first few minutes where Zuboff updates her thinking on the book we’ve read in class.)
To Do
This week, practice noticing your own biases when interviews and crafting questions for structured interviews.
