This is one of those books that does not miss a beat in its full revealing of history, context and philosophical expertise in analysing the political. Succinctly written, it can be addictive and frustrating to read it as it sinks and sinks into the depths of what we all live yet either not acknowledge or ignore. Whether Technofeudalism really is something new, or a mutation of late stage capitalism due to ICTs is to be seen. But that privacy has a value is daily strongly eroded and replaced with algorithms based on political and social ideologies is the most obvious point of this book. Its tremendous impacts in the industry are visible but I would also like to understand what has been left behind with the introduction of the digital?
