![]() ![]() ![]() There are a lot of parts in the book where I’m left thinking, “When was this foreshadowed or how was I supposed to know this?” There’s a lot of things that I had to question myself about, thinking maybe I just missed something. Moreover, the way Kimbrough develops the characters emotions isn’t done fairly well. I honestly think she regressed and developed her immaturity all over again.īesides the unadmirable character, the plot isn’t something I found interesting. ![]() She also seemed egotistical, annoying, and blah. Maybe it’s my hatred towards love triangles or (view spoiler) but this book really wasn’t cutting it for me. Now it’s up to her to fix everything back to how it was before she left. Her two best friends have new secrets that are hesitant to share, her ex-boyfriend is a slave to his new girlfriend, and she’s experiencing a lot of cultural shock. ![]() Now she’s back with a tan, an accent and a wiser mind. She came back after completing the student exchange program in Australia for a year. It starts off with Kara coming back to Trinity, a private boarding school in New Mexico. The first thing I can honestly say is that this is confusing. This book has left me with many, many emotions. I received an ARC from the author for an honest review. ![]()

Surveillance capitalism can no longer be identified with individual companies or even with the behemoth information sector. ![]() Like an invasive species with no natural predators, its financial prowess quickly overwhelmed the networked sphere, grossly disfiguring the earlier dream of digital technology as an empowering and emancipatory force. Invented at Google and elaborated at Facebook in the online milieu of targeted advertising, surveillance capitalism embodies a new logic of accumulation. Instead of claiming work (or land, or wealth) for the market dynamic as industrial capitalism once did, surveillance capitalism audaciously lays claim to private experience for translation into fungible commodities that are rapidly swept up into the exhilarating life of the market. It revives Karl Marx’s old image of capitalism as a vampire that feeds on labor, but with an unexpected turn. In our time, surveillance capitalism repeats capitalism’s “original sin” of primitive accumulation. ![]() Requests for article permissions and reprints should be directed to the author at szuboff Is Surveillance Capitalism?
