{"product_id":"under-surveillance-randolph-lewis-9781477312438","title":"Under Surveillance: Being Watched in Modern America","description":"\u003cp\u003eNever before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, \"stop and frisk\" tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors--surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world. In \u003ci\u003eUnder \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurveillance\u003c\/i\u003e, Randolph Lewis offers a highly original look at the emotional, ethical, and aesthetic challenges of living with surveillance in America since 9\/11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking a broad and humanistic approach, Lewis explores the growth of surveillance in surprising places, such as childhood and nature. He traces the rise of businesses designed to provide surveillance and security, including those that cater to the Bible Belt's houses of worship. And he peers into the dark side of playful surveillance, such as eBay's online guide to \"Fun with Surveillance Gadgets.\" A worried but ultimately genial guide to this landscape, Lewis helps us see the hidden costs of living in a \"control society\" in which surveillance is deemed essential to governance and business alike. Written accessibly for a general audience, \u003ci\u003eUnder \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurveillance\u003c\/i\u003e prompts us to think deeply about what Lewis calls \"the soft tissue damage\" inflicted by the culture of surveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randolph Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477312439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477312438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2017","brand":"Randolph Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985709662463,"sku":"9781477312438","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac3c8b6b-2188-43c0-bdc7-04481ba202c5.jpg?v=1683279106","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-surveillance-randolph-lewis-9781477312438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
