In this important new collection, the authors question the impact of these new technologies of surveillance on our privacy and our culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough surveillance-literally some people \"watching over\" others-is as old as social relationships themselves, with the advent of the computer age this phenomenon has acquired new and distinctive meanings. Technological advances have made it possible for surveillance to become increasingly global and integrated-both commercial and government-related personal data flows more frequently across national boundaries, and the flow between private and public sectors has increased as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAddressing issues of the global integration of surveillance, social control, new information technologies, privacy violation and protection, and workplace surveillance, the contributors to Computers, Surveillance, and Privacy grapple with the ramifications of these concerns for society today. Timely and provocative, this collection will be of vital interest to anyone concerned with resistance to social control and incursions into privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors: Jonathan P.
