This book examines the proliferation of surveillance technologies--such as facial recognition software and digital fingerprinting--that have come to pervade our everyday lives. Often developed as methods to ensure "national security," these technologies are also routinely employed to regulate our personal information, our work lives, what we buy, and how we live.
