From China to the United States, from Tel Aviv to Washington, via London, Paris, and San Francisco, this international investigation shows for the first time how, under the guise of fighting terrorism or crime, major powers have embarked on a dangerous race for surveillance technologies. Facial recognition cameras, emotion detectors, citizen rating systems, autonomous killer drones…
This inquiry delves into the workings of this global surveillance machine and gives a voice to the first victims of this extraordinary policing. In some countries, this security obsession is giving rise to a new form of regime: digital totalitarianism. Orwell’s nightmare.
