Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating It for Capitalism NICK COULDRY AND ULISES A. MEJIAS
"Just as in the past there was a land grab, so too is it now, only this time it's a grab for your data and your freedom. Corporations no longer just monitor you; they influence and control your behavior. This revolutionary book explains how neocolonialism lies at the heart of modern computing. It's a wake-up call for anyone concerned about our future relationship with technology." - Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyperloop
Connected World
"This book is a must-read for those who are uneasy about the fact that the global data economy has reproduced past social injustices to understand what needs to be done to address this phenomenon. By providing a range of historical and contemporary illustrative examples, the authors skillfully push the reader to rethink the relationships between technology, power, and inequality." Payal Arora, author of The Next Billion Users: Digital Life beyond the West
This book offers an important and profound engagement with the systems that enable data colonialism to extend its reach into the past, present, and future of human life itself. Coldry and Mahes pose a comprehensive and thoughtful challenge to the falsity of the inevitability of this transformative development in capitalism. The authors have taken a giant step forward in rediscovering the meaning and possibility of self-determination. It is not too late to join the challenge!

Nick Coldry and Ulysses Mahes delve deeply into the digital realm—its spaces, layers, and diffusion. Part of their work concerns what it takes to make this digital capability a reality. This isn't a wild event; in some ways, it's more like the extractive industry, and that means there's a price to pay for its existence.
- Saskia Sassen (author of Expulsions
"Coldry and Ulysses shows that data colonization is not just a linguistic metaphor. It is a process that extends many of the dark chapters of the past into our shiny new world of smartphones, smart TVs, and smart stores. This book rewards the reader with important historical context, fascinating examples, clear writing, and unexpected insights sprinkled throughout." - Joseph Turow, University of Pennsylvania
