Code, culture, football, fiction, the universe, and the occasional crime against milk. Think about ten minutes with your grandfather, if he'd read everything. Hosted on Acast.

Surveillance permeates every aspect of our lives today. Every click on the keyboard, every call, text or email, every purchase, every contact with a doctor or the police or a government department, each time you walk under a video camera or pass through a security check, and in many other ways, you are recorded, identified, traced, and tracked. This Very Short Introduction investigates how surveillance makes people visible, how it grew to its present size and prevalence, how it came to rely on technologies of data-handling, and how it developed its own cultural features.

Because every scientist knows all of science. Right?
