Just about any social need is now met with an opportuniy to "connect" through digital means. But this convenience is not free—it is purchased with vast amounts of personal data transferred through shadowy backchannels to corporations using it to generate profit. The Costs of Connection uncovers this process, this "data colonialism," and its designs for controlling our lives—our ways of knowing; our means of production; our political participation.
Colonialism might seem like a thing of the past, but this book shows that the historic appropriation of land, bodies, and natural resources is mirrored today in this new era of pervasive datafication. Apps, platforms, and smart objects capture and translate our lives into data, and then extract information that is fed into capitalist enterprises and sold back to us. The authors argue that this development foreshadows the creation of a new social order emerging globally—and it must be challenged. Confronting the alarming degree of surveillance already tolerated, they offer a stirring call to decolonize the internet and emancipate our desire for connection.

The human body has been reworked into something that requires a distant infrastructure, from which, incidentally, profit can be made. In Rooney’s own words, “I have contracted out one of the essential functions of my body to a piece of software.”
人体被改造成了一种需要远距离基础设施的东西，顺便还可以从中获利。用鲁尼自己的话说，"我把身体的一项基本功能承包给了一个软件"。 (查看原文)
data colonialism appropriates not only physical resources but also our very resources for knowing the world. This means that economic power (the power to make value) and cognitive power (the power over knowledge) converge as never before.
数据殖民主义不仅侵占了物质资源，也侵占了我们认识世界的资源本身。这意味着经济权力（创造价值的权力）和认知权力（掌握知识的权力）前所未有地融合在一起。 (查看原文)
三星半。经验感受上代入感挺强，作者很会描写，但colonialism的类比和分析混合了非常宏观到非常具体的层面，理论化太过明显的演绎逻辑，不是很赞同。理论观点：马克思主义批判资本主义全球化+信息社会+平台社会（数字基础设施）。提的概念很容易拿来作文章：data colonialism, data relation, social caching, cloud empire。

跟同类讲digital privacy，surveillance capitalism的书比，唯一新一点的观点是试图引入了colonialism的framework来分析，试图有一点历史维度，但整个对digital colonialism的论述让人不是很信服这是一个完全合理的move

怎样才能数据去殖民？看看拉美和非洲的theorists比较有启发。

第四章 社会科学的空洞化部分比较有启发性。
