Surveillance State tells the gripping, startling, and detailed story of how China’s Communist Party is building a new kind of political control: shaping the will of the people through the sophisticated harnessing of data.

Ci sono pochi posti nel mondo dove il divario tra quello che crediamo di sapere e quello che sappiamo è tanto ampio quanto nel caso degli Stati Uniti. L'influenza statunitense nei nostri consumi è così longeva che pensiamo di conoscere bene l'America quando in realtà, nella gran parte dei casi, la nostra idea è un impasto di luoghi comuni e poche informazioni concrete.
