Summary:
"A riveting investigation into how a restive region of
China
became the site of a nightmare Orwellian social experiment
--
the definitive
police
state
--
and the global technology giants that made it possible. Blocked from facts and truth, under constant surveillance, surrounded by a hostile alien
police
force: Xinjiang’s Uyghur population has become cursed, oppressed, outcast. Most citizens cannot discern between enemy and friend. Social trust has been destroyed systematically. Friends betray each other, bosses snitch on employees, teachers expose their students, and children turn on their parents. Everyone is dependent on a government that nonetheless treats them with suspicion and contempt. Welcome to the Perfect
Police
State. Using the haunting story of one young woman’s attempt to escape the vicious technological dystopia, his own reporting from Xinjiang, and extensive firsthand testimony from exiles, Geoffrey Cain reveals the extraordinary intrusiveness and power of the tech surveillance giants and the chilling implications for all our futures."--Publisher.
