Some books introduce new concepts and others, a new language. In the system of surveillance capitalism, instrumentarian power transforms raw human behavior into valuable behavioral surplus, turning the clicks of a computer cursor into a set of actionable recommendations for manipulating the user. Simply put, behavioral surplus is the data users leave behind when accessing services such as search engines or social media. Zuboff insists that surveillance capitalism be held to the same demands. The mission is made all the more urgent by the fact that human nature is the very resource consumed by this form of capitalism. In its pages, most importantly, we find the tools necessary to take up the interrogation for ourselves. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism unfolds in three parts, working up from rudimentary concepts to complex systems.

Designing Anti-Racist Technologies for a Just Future
Experts critiqued smart cities, agtech, blockchain, and policing during Stanford's first Technology and Racial Equity Conference. Digital technologies can be a force for good, but too often they emerge from sources reflecting inequality and may amplify existing racial bias and discrimination. Scholars, policymakers, technologists, and civil rights activists including leaders from USAID, Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, and the Harvard Kennedy School spoke on topics ranging from blockchain, policing technology, and digital agrifood—all through the lens of racial equity. Here are their most compelling takeaways. For more, watch the full two-day conference here. Barcelona, Bria noted, focused first on people rather than technology and data and sought to increase citizen participation in city-related decision making, including through Decidim Barcelona , a free, open-source digital platform that promotes citizen initiatives, a more transparent, participatory municipal budgeting process, and other efforts. To address the digital divide, city leaders are assessing whether providing access and devices is sufficient, or if some families need further support such as digital training. City leaders are also focusing on who develops technology and makes related decisions—a challenge when women represent only 26 percent of technology-sector jobs, as Bonet noted.
‘Businesses are more trusted than governments’. Here’s how the private sector is stepping up
The possibility for technology-based change in the financial industry is demonstrated in the new delivery of financial services and in the business models and operations of intermediaries that provide them.

A displacement of banks and financial firms by decentralised technologies.
I enjoyed this conversation with Daniel Lev Shkolnik, host of the Re-Enchantment podcast, about religion and cryptocurrency. Have a listen as we discuss what cryptocurrency is, and how it relates to religious and spiritual hopes and dreams for human society. We discuss the history and nature of money, and blockchain based religions! We discuss my book, Divine Currency, and topics such as money and war, money and religion, and money and politics. It was a very fruitful conversation. In this podcast, I speak with Camelia Raghinaru of the Telos Podcast, and summarize my article appearing in Telos that engages Carl Schmitt and Giorgio Agamben on questions of sovereignty and exception.
Over five decades — and several generations of fathers and sons — NS has come to feature heavily in pop culture depictions of Singaporean life, its rituals of hardship and solidarity configured as a rite of passage. Indeed, beyond routine declarations of allegiance and acts of service, NS has become a touchstone of Singapore identity, if not of myth. The close association between NS and nationhood, however, belies the fact that a significant number of these young soldiers are, in truth, foreign nationals. Current figures are hard to obtain, but in the Defence Minister revealed that 8, second-generation Permanent Residents who are subject to the same obligations had been conscripted in the preceding five years. When I joined up two years later, I met colleagues who held passports different to my own, and spoke a dazzling range of first and second languages.
