Summary:
"This book explores the commoditization of privacy and its evolution from a fundamental human right to a transactional, market-oriented concept. Exploring legal and political history in the United States as a background, it discusses how, even in the age of privacy regulation (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), there has been little change. To counter this, the author offers a novel tripartite approach that divides privacy into personal, social, and environmental spheres, offering a comprehensive framework for contemporary challenges like surveillance capitalism. The book is interdisciplinary in methodology and approach, combining historical, legal, and philosophical analysis, paired with empirical studies" -- Back cover.
