Knowledge is Profit: The Role of Espionage and Intelligence in Business

by Debora Barbosa

How much do companies know about you? Your habits, tastes and deepest desires constantly monitored by every single device in your house. Knowledge is Profit looks to explain the links between past present and future of corporate espionage and how companies have been striving to mine our data in order to predict our behaviour. How much of it is a marketing strategy? How far can they go? Is privacy gone for good? With the race for control over artificial intelligence, and the world in a sensitive state, companies now have the chance to keep a track on our every move, and turn George Orwell’s Big Brother vision into reality. In the not-so-distant future where society is cashless and technology is smart, microchips are the new ultimate espionage weapon that will allow full control of our lives to powerful corporations.

Very nice book!

It's an open mind of what the world is becoming. No places to hide and the changes are quickly take part under your nose. Is it the author exaggerating? Only time will confirm and you will need to pay to see!

Very interesting book.

Really good book and at the same time it's really scary where we are going to. I'm going to ready more about this theme.
