Never before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, stop and frisk tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors - surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world. In Under Surveillance, Randolph Lewis offers a highly original look at the emotional, ethical, and aesthetic challenges of living with surveillance in America since 9/11. Lewis explores the growth of surveillance in surprising places, such as childhood and nature. He traces the rise of businesses designed to provide surveillance and security, including those that cater to the Bible Belts houses of worship. And he peers into the dark side of playful surveillance, such as eBays Online guide to Fun with Surveillance Gadgets. A worried but ultimately genial guide to this landscape, Lewis helps us see the hidden costs of living in a control society in which surveillance is deemed essential to governance and business alike.
