New England Journal of Medicine DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp2023204
As of August 24, 2020, nearly 5.7 million cases of Covid-19 had been reported in the United States, with more than 176,000 deaths. Although there is debate about the accuracy of these specific numbers — many people with mild symptoms are never tested for Covid, for example, and especially early in the epidemic, the difference between dying from Covid and dying with Covid may not have been accurately captured — the increase in excess mortality rates reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is consistent with a significant loss of life associated with the disease.

Living under surveillance capitalism

THE NEW ORGANS is a collection of stories about living under surveillance capitalism.

Ever had the feeling that the internet knows more about you than you think it should? Perhaps you’ve mentioned something in conversation that later appeared in an online advertisement, or noticed that web content changes based on your physical location.

The New Organs is a project to gather, archive and investigate the theories and realities of corporate surveillance. Over the past year we’ve collected stories about weird online ads — ads that seem to know too much, as well as your theories of why you might be seeing them. Using these stories as a starting point, we’ve investigated the details of how internet companies monitor, exploit and manipulate us in an attempt to understand how surveillance capitalism operates.
