'Digital technologies, ' Juan Lindau convincingly writes, 'turn people inside out, making their inner selves increasingly legible while erasing...their right to be let alone, undisturbed, and unrecognized.' If you want to understand why and how that is happening--and why it's so hard to do anything about it--this deeply-researched book is the place to start. --Michael J. Glennon, author of National Security and Double Government Professor Lindau's Surveillance and the Vanishing Individual is a welcome addition to the technology and surveillance literature. Rich with both theory and applications the book provides a timely analysis and critique of corporate and state surveillance. Clearly the result of much scholarly labor, the product is a rare synthesis of political, legal, and ethical theory that will be of enduring interest to scholars and practitioners alike. --Adam D.
