Windows Into the Soul
Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology | Gary T. Marx
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
In Windows into the Soul, Gary T. Marx sums up a lifetime of work on issues of surveillance and social control by disentangling and parsing the empirical richness of watching and being watched. Ultimately, Marx argues, recognizing complexity and asking the right questions is essential to bringing light and accountability to the darker, more iniquitous corners of our emerging surveillance society.

This book is a study of the role of surveillance in our society and how it's being used for social control and how our personal and public lives are increasingly on display for governments, merchants, employers, hackers and the merely curious to see.

There's a lot more to it than than, though. It's a detailed and extremely well researched book that's left me more educated on surveillance, in general.
