Good Morning Scotland

Available for over a year

The dominance of social media on us all has seen a remarkable shift in how we treat data and, as a result, our attitude to privacy. As we continue to move through the so-called digital age, is information now effectively a currency? Author and scholar Shoshana Zuboff’s new book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, explores the challenges to humanity posed by the digital future. Gordon Brewer speaks to her in this week’s long interview.
