Abstract

The article discusses the concept of "surveillance capitalism" and its historical roots in the United States. It challenges the idea that surveillance capitalism is a recent phenomenon and argues that its key features have existed throughout the history of capitalism in America. The article presents a collection of essays that explore different aspects of surveillance capitalism, including its role in slavery, consumer data monetization, employee surveillance, and the interplay between public and private power. While the essays raise questions and provide insights into surveillance capitalism, they also highlight the need for a longer historical lens to fully understand its development and impact.
