"From a ′citizen consisting of body, soul, and passport′ to a ′citizen consisting of body, soul and a credit card leads the wondrous transformation of men and women of our times, as well as of those who control, survey, monitor and supervise every episode of their life itinerary – both scrupulously recorded and vividly portrayed in David Lyon′s new book. Knowing from Foucault that modernity was above all and from the start about surveillance, what can (and ought) be added to that knowledge by the experience of computerised and information–saturated society, prominent for the willing Cupertino of the surveilled with the surveillors? This seminal question Lyon asks; he also answers it comprehensively and in an utterly authoritative fashion."
––Zygmunt Bauman
"Lyon writes in a lively fashion and there are some excellent illustrations of his thesis. His arguments draw on a wide variety of literature and there is a refreshing attempt to combine empirical analysis with critical social theory. It is also a timely book."
––The Sociological Review
"It is a user–friendly textbook ... easily–digestible ... and judiciously balanced in it′s argument."
––Sociology
"Wide–ranging sociological review ... the book is lucidly written ... and demands a response from the reader: definitely recommended."
––Environment and Planning
