great books to read in the age of corona, let's start with "The Age Of Surveillance Capitalism"

[fncceo]

Camus is a tough read ... even translated into English.

surveillance capitalists spy on YOU

They tried ... they kept passing out from sheer boredom.

 

[Blues Man]

Camus is a tough read ... even translated into English.

I read it many years ago and didn't find it to be too bad

 

[sparky]

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new heat?
Corona’s here and the time is right
For surveillance to compete

They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music ( sweet sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (everywhere)
They'll be curfews, lockdowns, recorded playings
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what PPE you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere, around the world

They'll be dancing, dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
It's a huge invasion across the nation, a totalitarian treat
They'll be detained singing with nooses swinging
Dancing in the street

We don’t want the Chinese style of authoritarian mass surveillance to take hold in democratic countries, and there’s some risk that that could happen

If people are asked to trade public health versus privacy, they will invariably say, ‘Well obviously public health is more important
