James Bamford

Doubleday, 2008

criminals in charge

Welcome to the Machine: Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control

Derrick Jensen, George Draffan

Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2004

The most depressing author alive
Even as a converted Jensen-ite, there were times during this book when it came across as the "horrible conspiracy theory crazy talk" that the one-star reviewer below described. However, I came to see those moments as rhetorical exaggerations in the service of a deeper ...

Prominent among the quests for post-9/11 security are developments in surveillance, especially at national borders.

The Surveillance (Intervention, Book 1)

Julian May

Del Rey, 1988

A good read-- prequel to the Pliocene Exile Series
