4.0 out of 5 stars
A worthwhile and englightening read,
By Niva Kramek (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everyday Surveillance: Vigilance and Visibility in Postmodern Life (Paperback)
Though you may not like what you find out. Staples manages to weave sociological theory effortlessly through this engaging book, which details our surveillance culture. His analysis is clear, thoughtful, and full of examples from each of our every-day lives. His ideas have a solid theoretical grounding, but offer an original assessment of what is actually behind all those cameras, all-to-frequent drug tests, rising prison populations and the knowledge that someone is always watching us. Without paranoia or exaggeration, Staples evokes perfectly the surveillance situation in which we are living, explaining how it came about, what it really does for (and to) us, and what's likely to happen in the future.
