5.0 out of 5 stars The best survilance book ever., September 13, 2000
By 
Pablo Marquez (Bogota Colombia) - See all my reviews
El autor hace una mirada objetiva respecto de el auge de la sociedad de la información y junto a ella una apreciacion etica de los problemas que conlleva la vigilancia del consumidor en el capitalismo posmoderno. Hace ademas un analisis Foucaultiano de los fenomenos de vigilancia y estudia la teoria de la vigilancia en Bentham, con su Panoptico.
