This 2013 Palgrave edited volume raises genuinely provocative questions about marketing's Leviathan-like grip on society, and the scholarship is real. But a dozen years of digital transformation have dated the digital-marketing chapters significantly, and dense multi-author academic prose makes this a hard read for anyone outside graduate marketing or critical theory circles.
