Who's Watching You?: The Chilling Truth about the State, Surveillance, and Personal Freedom (Conspiracy Books) [Paperback]

Mick Farren (Author), John Gibb (Author)

Book Description

Series: Conspiracy Books | Publication Date: May 1, 2007

The threat of terrorism and the corresponding climate of fear encouraged by the government have together eroded our freedom to live our lives in peace and quiet away from the prying eyes of hidden cameras. The government is tightening its grip on us by watching and recording what we do. They are doing this because they know they can and because knowledge is power. But exactly who are “they” and why do they want to know so much about us? This book includes chilling, accurate, and up-to-date descriptions of the methods the government (and private company proxies) use to watch us.

This review is from: Who's Watching You?: The Chilling Truth about the State, Surveillance, and Personal Freedom (Conspiracy Books) (Paperback)

Do you find yourself hopelessly paranoid about government bureaucracies, the corporate Gestapo, eyes in the sky, or even our addiction to social networking sites? Yeah, neither did I. Who's watching you? by Mick Farren and John Gibb is a disturbing exposé about our technology driven world that will make you think twice about performing the simplest of tasks. This book covers everything from facial recognition, corporate data mining, and biomimetrics, all the way up to the potential power of Google as an A.I. entity and the already robust control of the ECHELON interception network. If the idea of simply being watched doesn't bother you because you believe in the now trite expression, "If you have nothing to hide, there's nothing to worry about," then maybe the possibility of mandatory retinal scans and virtual slave collars for all world citizens doesn't concern you either. But for the rest of us who prefer to not be herded like senseless sheep this book is definitely worth taking a look at,,, while you still can, that is.
