Zuboff, Shoshana. "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power", The Definition. Profile Books, 2019. The quoted paragraph in full is as follows: 1. A new economic order that claims human experience as free raw material for hidden commercial practics of extraction, prediction, and sales; 2. A parasitic economic logic in which the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new global architecture of behavioral modification; 3. A rogue mutation of capitalism marked by concentrations of wealth, knowledge, and power unprecedented in human history; 4. The foundational framework of a surveillance economy; 5. As significant a threat to human nature in the twenty-first century as industrial capitalism was to the natural world in the nineteenth and twentieth; 6. The origin of a new instrumentarian power that asserts dominance over society and presents startling challenges to market democracy; 7. A movement that aims to impose a new collective order based on total certainty; 8. An expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above: an overthrow of the people's sovereignty.
Ibid. "Chapter 5: The Elaboration of Surveillance Capitalism: Kidnap, Corner, Compete". The quoted paragraph in full is as follows: "Our ultimate ambition is to transform the overall Google experience, making it beautifully simple," Larry Page said, "almost automagical because we understand what you want and can deliver it instantly." In the drive to fulfill this ambition, the extration imperative produces a relentless push for scale in supply operations. There can be no boundaries that limit scale in the hunt for behavioral surplus, no territory exempted from plunder. The assertion of decision rights over the expropriation of human experience, its translation into data, and the uses of those data are collateral to this process, inseparable as a shadow. This explains why Google's supply chains began with Search but steadily expanded to encompass new and even-more-ambitious territories far from clicks and queries. Google's stores of behavioral surplus now embrace everything in the online miliue: searches, e-mails, texts, photos, songs, messages, videos, locations, communication patterns, attitudes, preferences, interests, faces, emotions, illnesses, social networks, purchases, and so on. A new continent of behavioral surplus is spun each moment from the many virtual threads of our everyday lives as they collide with Google, Facebook, and, more generally, every aspect of the internet's computer-mediated architecture Indeed, under the direction of surveillance capitalism the global reach of computer mediation is repurposed as an extraction architecture.
