"Commodities just become more marvelous; young, urban professionals sleep, work and shop with greater ease and comfort; democracy is insidiously subverted by technologies of surveillance, and control is enthusiastically rebranded as “participation”...

Technically it's Assange's review of a book by Google's Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, "The New Digital Age."

It's not just a random essay by Assange.
