Mon. Dec 30th, 6pm - 7pm: Andrew Smith, author, "Devil in the Stack" (More info...)
Writer Andrew Smith decided to learn computer programming in his 50s. What happened next is captured in his book "Devil in the Stack: A Code Odyssey," and wide-ranging tour through computer history, neuroscience, and the friendliest programming language.

May 13, 2019: Shoshana Zuboff, author, "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism"

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

This week: Shoshana Zuboff, author, "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power"

- - -

Pointers:

• Shoshana Zuboff on Twitter: @shoshanazuboff - author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and professor emerita of Harvard Business School. She was one of the first tenured female professors at HBS.

Source: Matt Stoller, May 13

• Google CEO Sundar Pichai's NYT op-ed (May 7): "To make privacy real, we give you clear, meaningful choices around your data. All while staying true to two unequivocal policies: that Google will never sell any personal information to third parties; and that you get to decide how your information is used. . . . a small subset of data helps serve ads that are relevant and that provide the revenue that keeps Google products free and accessible. [Mark notes: this is the data necessary for service improvement and largely irrelevant to Google's surveillance-and-control model.] That revenue also sustains a broad community of content creators, which in turn helps keep content on the web free for everyone. [Mark notes: just like flat-earth YouTubers!]"
