From the Back Cover:
The hills have eyes...and so does just about every governmental security agency you can imagine! We live in an increasingly transparent world, where practically all of our movements and activities are monitored, and in his sometimes frightening They're Watching You!: The Age of Surveillance, author and security expert Tony Lesce reveals the technology and prevailing philosophy that makes this state of affairs possible.

They're Watching You!: The Age of Surveillance contains sections on: * Surveillance in Public * Private and Public Surveillance * Surveillance as Intimidation * Digging up Dirt * Commercial Motives * The Myth of "Security" * Investigations * Tools and Techniques * The Internet * Protecting Yourself * The Future

Now, more than ever before in the history of the human race, the reality of ongoing, everyday surveillance is a factor that cautious citizens must take into account when planning their activities. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...but they must learn to protect themselves from the massive invasion of privacy that has become a facet of modern life. You're not paranoid if someone is actually out to obtain unauthorized information about you, and it's a matter of common knowledge that clandestine surveillance of the general population has become routine and ubiquitous.

What the indifferent observers know about you can be hurtful, so it's in your best interest to inform yourself of the extent of the incessant surveillance that is in place, and act accordingly! Read Tony Lesce's complacency-shattering book as soon as possible, and remember...

They're Watching You!

From Booklist:
Lesce sees Americans' privacy threatened "not only by the `Big Brother' of government, but by many `Little Brothers' who have a burning interest in what you do, think, and feel." The latter promote a "fear industry" and "allegedly provid[e] protection against a variety of threats." With more money to burn than the "official police" have, they work closely with "officials on a power trip, who enjoy imposing rules and restrictions on other people." Pretty heady stuff, that, and quite an indictment, too. Lesce frequently puts his observations in terms that foster a paranoia that the marvelously austere photo-illustrations (of things like those could-be-camera-hiding black ceiling domes) reinforce, but his argument is compelling. Whatever one thinks of his worldview, his treatments of the commercial aspects of surveillance culture and his references to new technologies make the book a valuable reference. Good grist for those obsessing on the dwindling of personal privacy. Mike Tribby
