She is the author of the books In the Age of the Smart Machine: The Future of Work and Power and The Support Economy: Why Corporations Are Failing Individuals and the Next Episode of Capitalism, co-authored with James Maxmin. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, integrates her lifelong themes: the digital revolution, the evolution of capitalism, the historical emergence of psychological individuality, and the conditions for human development. Zuboff's work is the source of many concepts including 'surveillance capitalism', 'instrumentarian power', 'the division of learning in society', 'economies of action', 'the means of behavior modification', 'information civilization', 'computer-mediated work', 'automate/informate' dialectic, 'abstraction of work' & 'individualization of consumption'. Derived from a Kirkus review: The traditional corporate organization chart may go the way of the dodo as factories and offices switch to all-out computerized automation. Zuboff bases this and other findings on her ten-year study of eight companies: three pulp and/or paper manufacturers; the rest primarily service or financial institutions. Zuboff finds that computers change the relationship between first-line managers and workers, rendering the former almost redundant while providing the latter with the means to handle many decisions formerly relegated to supervisory personnel. Experienced operators can not only correct mistakes, but can also use the electronic brain to solve problems and even improve routine operations. Conflicts between supervisory and operating personnel, says Zuboff, prevent full use of automated systems. Especially eye-opening: numerous revealing quotes that lay bare the dilemmas and dislocations of automation. Seller Inventory # 23737
