Summary:
"Where is the line between digital utopia and digital police
state
? '
Surveillance
State
' tells the gripping, startling, and detailed story of how
China
's Communist Party is building a
new
kind of political
control
: shaping the will of the people through the sophisticated -- and often brutal -- harnessing of data. It is a story born in Silicon Valley and America'
s
'War on Terror,' and now playing out in alarming ways on
China
's remote Central Asian frontier. As ethnic minorities in a border region strain against Party
control
,
China
's leaders have built a dystopian police
state
that keeps millions under the constant gaze of security forces armed with AI. But across the country in the city of Hangzhou, the government is weaving a digital utopia, where technology helps optimize everything from traffic patterns to food safety to emergency response. Award-winning journalists Josh Chin and Liza Lin take readers on a journey through the
new
world
China
is building within its borders, and beyond. Telling harrowing stories of the people and families affected by the Party'
s
ambitions, '
Surveillance
State
' reveals a future that is already underway -- a
new
society engineered around the power of digital
surveillance
