The New Yorker listed The Age of Surveillance Capitalism as one of its top non-fiction books of 2019.[7] Former President of the United States Barack Obama also listed it as one of his favourite books of 2019, which journalism researcher Avi Asher-Schapiro noted as an interesting choice, given that the book heavily criticises the "revolving door of personnel who migrated between Google & the Obama admin".[8] "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff review – we are the pawns".
