The end of privacy:  how total surveillance is becoming a reality 

 - New York:  New Press,  1999 
 - 195p. 
<br/><br/> Focusses on the impact of new information technologies on political power and in particular on surveillance as a mechanism of power through social control. Considers how state and non-state forces are both involved in surveillance activities, and in the final chapter raises the question of why there is relatively little public protest at the large scale invasion of public privacy.
