Gary T. Marx, professor emeritus of sociology at M.I.T.:
In this sprightly volume, the wide tires of surveillance theory and propaganda meet the reality inducing roads of critical conceptual and empirical inquiry. The field of surveillance studies lurches forward as a result. This informative interdisciplinary work by Canadian scholars (the country in the forefront of surveillance studies) should be read by anyone interested in the richness, complexity, and varied consequences of both traditional and new surveillance techniques.
