book · Shoshana Zuboff · tradition: attention-economy

Behavioral surplus, prediction products, and the market that trades in them. The economic logic behind data-driven platforms.

The book’s stance. Bears on observation-cheap-defaults-breed-surveillance and captured-generator-decides-truth. Supports the industry claim; pressure-tests the “default, not choice” framing by arguing the surveillance is engineered. Quote-backed supports/pressureTests edges pending extraction of the source PDF.
