In her new book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Harvard Business School\u2019s Shoshana Zuboff argues that tech companies \u2014 like Google and Facebook \u2014 collect so much personal data for profit, that they\u2019re changing the fundamentals of our economy and way of life. And now these companies are learning to shape our behavior to better serve their business goals. Shoshana joins Manoush Zomorodi to explain what this all means for us. \n\nWe then explore whether or not it\u2019s time to end our relationship with corporate spies. OG advice columnist Dear Abby gives us some tips to start with. We chat with philosopher S. Matthew Liao. He asks if we have a moral duty to quit Facebook. Alice Marwick explains why most people won\u2019t leave the social network. And journalist Nithin Coca tells us what it was like for him to quit both Facebook and Google. Spoiler alert: it wasn\u2019t easy, but he has no regrets. \n\nIRL is an original podcast from Mozilla, maker of Firefox and always fighting for you. For more on the series go to irlpodcast.org.
