A live-streamed discussion about “the unprecedented form of power called ‘surveillance capitalism’ and the quest by corporations to predict and control our behavior” featuring Naomi Klein, a senior correspondent for The Intercept, and Harvard Business School professor emerita Shoshana Zuboff is planned for Friday evening.
The conversation is set to begin at 7pm ET. Hosted by The Intercept on Facebook Live and YouTube, the discussion follows the January release of Zuboff’s latest book, entitled The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.
