“David Lyon has long been a powerful witness to the corrosive consequences of contemporary surveillance. This latest work warns how digital modernity’s surveillance regimes insinuate themselves into our lives and shape the most intimate qualities of experience. Lyon explores the threat of normalization, calling for resilience and agency against such surveillance and suggesting alternatives. Once again, we are in his debt.”
Shoshana Zuboff, Harvard Business School
“Compelling… The Culture of Surveillance offers an unprecedented insight into how complex and consequential the monitoring of human action has truly become.”
Ed Bryan, Social & Cultural Geography
