Data Enclaves

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the growing reliance on Big Tech and the implications of exchanging personal data for access to digital services. It highlights how personal data has become a crucial resource in the digital economy, largely concentrated within a few powerful firms. The author argues that this concentration fosters a parasitic relationship with technoscientific innovation, as Big Tech dictates service terms and shapes technological advancements like AI. A call for reevaluation of data governance and understanding the transformation of personal data into valuable assets is central to the discussion.
