I would just like to take this opportunity to suggest that anyone who isn’t a fan of surveillance capitalism should familiarize themselves with surveillance communism before they throw themselves into changing dynamics. Otherwise, one might find oneself suffering at the other extreme, unaware it existed until too late and no longer having access to non-violent capitalist tools with which to extract oneself.

This book finally got interesting. The description of “astroturfing” on social media was illuminating. I wish people who actually used social media (unlike me) would learn what it is and be wary of it.

Note to self: When a liberal does it, it’s called “making it cool to love your country.” When a conservative does it, it’s called alt-right Christian nationalism.
