      abstract = {This book focuses on our increasing dependence upon Big  Tech to live, manage, and enjoy our lives. The author  examines how we freely exchange our personal data for  access to online platforms, services, and devices without  proper consideration of the implications of this trade. Our  personal data is the defining resource of the emerging  digital economy, and it is increasingly concentrated in a  few data enclaves controlled by Big Tech firms, cementing  an increasingly parasitic form of technoscientific  innovation. Big Tech controls access to these data,  dictates the terms of our use of their services and  products, and controls the future development of key  technologies like artificial intelligence. The contention  of this book is that we need to rethink our political and  policy approach to data governance and to do so requires  unpacking the peculiarities of personal data and how  personal data are transformed into a valuable asset. Kean  Birch is Director of the Institute for Technoscience &  Society and Professor in the Science & Technology Studies  Graduate Program at York University, Canada. He has been a  Visiting Scholar at Copenhagen Business School and the  Munich Center for Technology & Society, Technical  University Munich. He is especially interested in  understanding how different things are transformed into  assets and what this means for our increasingly  technoscientific economies and societies.},
