[Rachel 💚 · Rating 3 out of 5]

It started off so well and the first five chapters provided some interesting points! but after chapter 5 is got very very dull, i struggled to finish it in the end.

The rating is based on the 1st half of the book.

[Silvia Zuleta Romano · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aunque el libro tiene sus años resulta tremendamente actual, premonitorio y esclarecedor de la sociedad en la que vivimos.
Si ya has leído bastante sobre el tema, algunas ideas pueden sonar repetitivas pero teniendo en cuenta que el libro fue escrito a principios de los noventa...es perfecto.

An excellent book on the state of surveillance, which offers some interesting thoughts, despite its age.
