Description
In the surveillance state of modern China, language is being manipulated to serve the interests of those in power. This is just one aspect of a complex system that combines terror and law, propaganda and technology, to maintain control.
The author, Kai Strittmatter, explores how this regime uses various tools to shape public opinion, suppress dissent, and create a culture of obedience. From the manipulation of language to the use of artificial intelligence, Strittmatter examines the ways in which China's leaders are using technology to consolidate their power.
This book offers a unique insight into the inner workings of China's surveillance state, revealing how it is shaping the country's future and its place in the world. With its clear analysis and engaging writing style, "We Have Been Harmonised" is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most significant global issues of our time.
