Surveillance Society: Motering Everyday Life

In this book, David Lyon tries to develop the idea of Information Societies as Surveillance Societies. He has interesting elements on the role, functions and logics of data-basis that can be read in parallel of Mark Poster’s work. David Lyon distinguishes four spaces of electronic surveillance : administration-government / policing and security systems / workplace / world consumption.
