Spotify Wrapped is an example of how a company can conduct in-depth surveillance of our personal behavior over a long period of time and package it as a fun feature that we want to share with others.

Like many other Spotify users, I opened the music streaming app on Wednesday and received a cheerful message:"Your 2021 Wrapped is here," it read, imploring me to explore the top songs, artists, and podcasts I listened to"in a year that was far from normal."

I cringed while tapping the message to learn more. A brightly colored highlight reel played, showing me what I suspected: My top songs included"Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa,"Banana Boat " by Harry Belafonte and"Ship to Wreck" by Florence and the Machine . In all, I listened to 48 different genres of music on Spotify for 6,664 minutes this year; an amount of time that is more than 51% of other listeners in the United States, Spotify helpfully noted.
