PREFACE
PROLOGUE: “A perfect architecture of control”
1 TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY: How much state surveillance and control are you willing to tolerate in the name of public safety?
2 EXPANDING THE PLATFORM: “Facebook and WhatsApp are spying on us anyway,” he said, holding up his phone. “Privacy is dead.”
3 WATCHING EACH OTHER: “It is the Interest, and ought to be the Ambition, of all honest Magistrates, to have their Deeds openly examined, and publicly scann’d.”
4 MISSION CREEP: “You can tell me who you are. But give me fifteen minutes with your phone and I’ll tell you who you really are.”
5 THE END OF ANONYMITY: “The history of surveillance is the history of powerful surveillance systems being abused.”
6 EYES IN THE SKY: “Where law enforcement leaders see a wonderful new tool for controlling crime and increasing public safety, a portion of the public sees the potential for a massive invasion of privacy.”
7 WIDENING THE NET: “The public doesn’t look at people with ankle monitors and say, ‘There’s an innocent person.’ They say, ‘What did that person do?’”
8 THE BLACK BOX OF JUSTICE: “In a racially stratified world, any method of prediction will project the inequalities of the past into the future.”
9 THE CHINA PROBLEM: “We can now have a perfect architecture of control. What democratic practices do we need to not become China?”
10 THE OAKLAND SOLUTION: “We just started showing up.”
CONCLUSION: The case for optimism
