Book Description
Be careful what you wish for….Thirteen-year old classmates Amelia and Lucas feel like outcasts at Subduing Junior High where the girls all have swingy blonde hair and the boys all play football. They long to be somewhere – anywhere -- else, somewhere they'll fit in, where they'll be popular.But, when they're suddenly transported to the frighteningly bizarre Carnival of Clapper Doom, they learn that wishes don't always work out the way you'd hoped. Turned into slaves by the Carnival's foul-tempered owner, The Great and Wonderful Finius, and forced to live with Clapper Doom's downtrodden sideshow freaks, they search desperately for a way to return home.But, as they soon discover, there are worse things than being a sideshow freak… FAR, FAR WORSE. When they take a stand against The Great and Wonderful Finius, he locks them in the Carnival's House of Horrors; a dilapidated building filled with vampires, ghosts, and bloodthirsty assassins; a prison from which no amount of wishing can help them to escape.Will they find a way out or will the Carnival of Clapper Doom turn into their worst – and last – nightmare?

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
Author: Shoshana Zuboff
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610395700
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 658
Book Description
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior. In this masterwork of original thinking and research, Shoshana Zuboff provides startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes could not be higher: a global architecture of behavior modification threatens human nature in the twenty-first century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the twentieth. Zuboff vividly brings to life the consequences as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into every economic sector. Vast wealth and power are accumulated in ominous new "behavioral futures markets," where predictions about our behavior are bought and sold, and the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new "means of behavioral modification." The threat has shifted from a totalitarian Big Brother state to a ubiquitous digital architecture: a "Big Other" operating in the interests of surveillance capital. Here is the crucible of an unprecedented form of power marked by extreme concentrations of knowledge and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff's comprehensive and moving analysis lays bare the threats to twenty-first century society: a controlled "hive" of total connection that seduces with promises of total certainty for maximum profit -- at the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future. With little resistance from law or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future -- if we let it.
