Surveillance capitalism and the loving gaze of God

About this book

"The internet has revolutionalized how we interact with the world and one other, yet the technologies that many of us use on an everyday basis come at an often-unseen cost. Surveillance capitalism is the practice of exploiting information about individuals' preferences, habits and behaviour, for profit. This incisive study surveys a handful of large and influential big tech corporations, and contrasts their unhealthy use of surveillance with the loving gaze of God. It argues that we must be aware of the pitfalls of the digital revolution, while finding creative ways to harness it, include the marginalized, build social capital and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ."--
