Chapter 13: Surveillance Tools and the Coronavirus Pandemic: A Case Study
Juan D. Lindau · Rowman & Littlefield Publishers eBooks · 2022
Surveillance and the Vanishing Individual is an investigation into the impact of the spread of digital technologies and practices, and especially the wide-spread practice of mass surveillance, on privacy and personhood. The book argues that the quest for prediction, certainty, and control lying at the heart of the state’s security apparatus destroys an essential component of human dignity and fundamentally undermines liberalism.
