Publications
- My most recent book (co-authored with Nick Couldry) is Data Grab: The New Colonialism of Big Tech and How to Fight Back (2024, Penguin Random House and University of Chicago Press). This book has also been published in Germany and South Korea. My previous book (also with Couldry) was The Costs of Connection: How Data is Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating it for Capitalism (2019, Stanford University Press). It has been translated into Arabic, Chinese, Italian, Spanish and Turkish. For more information about my research activities, please see my website.
