Last year I read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism."
Her theory, and I agree, is it isn't the loss of freedom per se, but the loss of privacy that's subverting us. Privacy is the key to freedom and autonomy. When we lose it, to Big Tech and Big Gov, Big Other (as she calls it) is able to use that knowledge against us, to influence our thoughts and behavior.
The book is exhaustive in it depth and breadth. I recommended to anyone who wants a firmer grasp of current tech and current events.
