by Ph.D. Mads Vestergaard On Social credit systems and capitalist incentives and how they manipulate and shape human behaviour, and how digital frameworks datamining people for profit or ideological seering undermine individuality and freedom of expression. A thesis that is, if not adjacent then related, to the one described by Zuboff in “The age of surveillance capitalism”, although I find this work a bit more concise, while taking into account the comparison between the ideological and capitalist motivations.

by Professor Shoshanna Zuboff Fantastic intellectual work on the capitalistic model of user data in the digital age, and the consequences for the diminishing of the individuals power in a society in which such a digital frameworks exists. This is very close to the main canonical text on this subject.
