Definitely an engaging read that covers a range of tech surveillance copies; I think calling it anti-capitalist would be a stretch and the focus lays heavily with Tech companies and often seems to be missing a little bit of discussion around how Tech companies are allowed to behave as described.

The language is  ornate and academic, and the book is very lengthy which I can imagine would alienate casual readers.

I really really wanted to love this and get a lot out of it. I was exposed to histories I hadn't known before, and for that I appreciate the book. But it was so filled with unnecessarily complicated terminology, and was incredibly repetitive, that it became almost impossible to finish this. Even as an audiobook.

The unnecessarily ornate writing style makes the content harder to comprehend and retain.

I think a lot of the info this book has is definitely in the right place, combining it with multiple discipline; the issue is that makes the read particularly dense and hard to parse for the average person.

On a more socialist note, some of the lines from the author genuinely baffled me.
