The Culture of Surveillance Watching as a Way of Life

"This book manages to be comprehensive and authoritative in approach, whilst providing a very convincing and accessible account of key shifts in technology and society that underpins the concept of surveillance culture. This makes it both an original and high-quality contribution to the field."
Lina Dencik, Cardiff University, UK
 
"The Culture of Surveillance provides a nuanced account of contemporary surveillance practices."
Daniel Trottier, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
 
"David Lyon has long been a powerful witness to the corrosive consequences of contemporary surveillance. This latest work warns how digital modernity?s surveillance regimes insinuate themselves into our lives and shape the most intimate qualities of experience. Lyon explores the threat of normalization, calling for resilience and agency against such surveillance and suggesting alternatives. Once again, we are in his debt."
Shoshana Zuboff, Harvard Business School
