Description

In The Machine Never Blinks, the story of surveillance is presented from its earliest days, helping you to more fully understand today's headlines about ever-increasing, constant, and unrelenting monitoring and global data collection. It's a threat to your rights, privacy, dignity, and sanity.

This book spans surveillance from the Trojan Horse, through 9/11, and to the so-called War on Terror, which enabled the exponential growth of government and corporate intercepts and databases. It also explains spying as entertainment (reality TV) and convenience (smart speakers).
