“Even the things that seemed the most solid and timeless, like towering cliffs of granite, were in fact in a state of constant flux. It was comforting and also frightening. Frightening because there was nothing to hold on to. Comforting because there was nothing to lose.”

“The knowledge that now displaces our freedom is proprietary. The knowledge is theirs, but the lost freedom belongs solely to us.”
― The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

“People I know with houses squeeze every drop of capital out of them, because, even when it's hard, squeezing capital out of a house is a hell of a lot easier than squeezing it out of work.”

“It was there, in Spain, that the right to the future tense was on the move, insisting that the operations of surveillance capitalism and its digital architecture are not, never were, and never would be inevitable. Instead, the opposition asserted that even Google’s capitalism was made by humans to be unmade and remade by democratic processes, not commercial decree. Google’s was not to be the last word on the human or the digital future.”

“Uncertainty is not chaos but rather the necessary habitat of the present tense. We choose the fallibility of shared promises and problem solving over the certain tyranny imposed by a dominant power or plan because this is the price we pay for freedom to will, which founds our right to the future tense. In the absence of this freedom, the future collapses into an infinite present of mere behavior, in which there can be no subjects and no projects: only objects.”
