Questions of surveillance are always also questions of geography. From the famous disciplinary spaces of Bentham′s panoptic prison projects to today′s control societies based on millions of sensors, cameras and data capture devices spread across the world, perspectives from critical geography offer massive potential for understanding surveillance societies. And yet, remarkably, this pivotal and state-of-the art book is the first to really consider the intersections of geography and surveillance with real depth and clarity. Theoretically cutting-edge, politically astute, technologically informed, athletically multiscaled -- ′Surveillance and Space′ is a remarkable analysis and is a ′must read′ for anyone interested in the fast-moving politics and geographies of surveillance in contemporary societies.
