Description
US Publication Date: 14th September
UK Publication date: 30th October
One of the world's leading surveillance experts analyses the Snowden revelations, the reactions to them, and how the digital world has changed as a result.
In early 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA and its partners had been engaging in warrantless mass surveillance, using the internet, and driven by fear of terrorism under the sign of “security”. In this compelling account, surveillance expert David Lyon guides the reader through Snowden’s revelations: the technological shifts involved, the steady rise of invisible monitoring of innocent citizens, and the implications for how we conceive of privacy in a democratic society infused with the lure of big data.
Along the way, Lyon takes in the distinct global reactions to Snowden - why he has been called both traitor and patriot - and sets out an agenda for rethinking the place of the human in our digital world.
David Lyon directs the Surveillance Studies Centre and is a Professor of Sociology and a Professor in the Faculty of Law at Queen's University, Canada.

Advance Praise
"Surveillance After Snowden is a brilliant plea for human beings to secure personal agency and civic rights in a world of metadata and surveillance. This won’t be easy, but it is among the most important challenges for the future of democracy."Craig Calhoun, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science
