New Issue: Imagining Surveillance Futures
The latest Surveillance & Society special issue on “Imagining Surveillance Futures” explores what surveillance might look like — and what worlds it might engender — in the near future. Harnessing speculative fiction and visual art, the issue’s essays immerse audiences in dystopian and utopian scenarios that offer new perspective on the stakes of surveillance in society.
