The subject matter - the pervasive way in which our privacy rights are being usurped by Google, Facebook and a multitude of other companies through smart devices - is of the utmost importance, and yet the book suffers from the dense writing style of Zuboff, limiting its potential readership. I strongly encourage everyone to do their due diligence on this subject and to safeguard their privacy to the (limited) extent possible (Duck Duck Go vs. Google; Avast vs. Chrome, etc) but unless you're dedicated, I think the average reader is going to find this slow going.
