The State of Surveillance
Technology and social control in the “smart city”The technologies and practices of surveillance have come to play a part in governing contemporary societies. They encroach on everyday life and have numerous social implications. The rights of intimacy and privacy have become increasingly relative in the face of a burgeoning security sector at state level, in cities and on Internet. It is essential to discuss the characteristics, processes and consequences of these dynamics in society if we are to understand the phenomenon.
