Description
China's Communist Party is building a new kind of political control by harnessing data to shape the will of its people. Surveillance State tells the story of this ambitious project, which has roots in Silicon Valley and America's "War on Terror." The result is a dystopian police state that keeps millions under constant surveillance, but also a digital utopia where technology optimizes everything from traffic patterns to food safety. Award-winning journalists Josh Chin and Liza Lin take readers on a journey through China's new world of digital surveillance. They reveal harrowing stories of the people and families affected by the Party's ambitions, showing how this future is already underway. The book offers a detailed look at the complexities of China's quest to launch a new era of social control. By exploring both the brutal and the benevolent aspects of China's digital utopia, Surveillance State provides a nuanced understanding of the country's growing reliance on technology to shape its society.
