What they said about the book: A thought-provoking tour de force and a powerful study of the power of data in our networked age. Through a fascinating critique of various aspects of our data-saturated society, Nick Couldry and Polisses A. Mejias invite readers to reexamine their assumptions about the ethical, political, and economic order that makes data-driven technologies possible. - Danah Boyd, Researcher at Microsoft Research and Founder of Data & Society THE COSTS OF CONNECTION How Data Is Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating It for Capitalism NICK COULDRY AND POLISES A. MEJIAS Just as in the past, there was a land grab, but this time it's a grab for your data and your freedom. Corporations are no longer just monitoring you; they're influencing and controlling your behavior. This revolutionary book explains how neocolonialism lies at the heart of modern computing. It is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about our future relationship with technology. - Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-Connected World "This book is a must-read for anyone who doesn't accept that the global data economy has reproduced past social injustices and what to do to counter them." By offering a range of historical and contemporary illustrative examples, the authors skillfully push the reader to rethink the relationships between technology, power, and inequality. Payal Arora, author of The Next Billion Users: Digital Life beyond the West This book offers an important and profound engagement with the systems that enable data colonialism to expand its reach into the past, present, and future of human life itself. Caldry and Mahes pose a comprehensive and thoughtful challenge to the falsity of this transformative development in capitalism. The authors have taken a giant step forward in rediscovering the meaning and possibility of self-determination. It's not too late to join the challenge! - Oscar H. Gandhi Jr., Professor Emeritus, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania Nick Caldry and Ulysses Mahes delve deeply into the digital sphere-its spaces, layers, and diffusion. Part of their work concerns what it takes to make this digital potential a reality. This is not a random event; in some ways, it's more like the industrial sector. Extractivism, which means there is a price we pay for its existence. - Saskia Sassen (author of Expulsions Coldry and Ulysses show that data colonization is not just a linguistic metaphor. It is a process that extends many of the dark chapters of the past into our shiny new world of smartphones, smart TVs, and smart stores. This book rewards the reader with important historical context and fascinating examples, clear writing, and unexpected insights sprinkled throughout.) - Joseph Turow, University of Pennsylvania
