In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA and its partners had been engaging
in warrantless mass surveillance, using the internet and cellphone data, and
driven by fear of terrorism under the sign of 'security'.
In this compelling account, surveillance expert David Lyon guides the reader
through Snowden's ongoing disclosures: the technological shifts involved, the
steady rise of invisible monitoring of innocent citizens, the collusion of
government agencies and for-profit companies and the implications for how we
conceive of privacy in a democratic society infused by the lure of big data.
Lyon discusses the distinct global reactions to Snowden and shows why some basic
issues must be faced: how we frame surveillance, and the place of the human in a
digital world.
Surveillance after Snowden is crucial reading for anyone interested in politics,
technology and society.
