Through seven chapters, the authors analyse the production, regulation, and financialisation of digital goods and services, primarily those offered by transnational companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft. They use contemporary interpretations of critical theory to explain their global dominance, understand their effects on society, media and communication, as well as to open the debate on the reform and alternatives to business models based on gathering and commodifying user data.
