Surveillance state : inside China's quest to launch a new era of social control / Josh Chin and Liza Lin. by Chin, Josh. St. Martin's Press, 2022.

Edition:  1st ed. Description:  x, 310 p., 8 unnumbered pages of plates : col. ill., map ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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."--Jacket.
