From a physical conception to a ubiquitous practice in the digital environment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book "Surveillance and the panopticon in the digital age" offers a profound reflection on the dynamics of control and observation in our contemporary society, marked by technological progress and the omnipresence of digital networks. Through a critical analysis, we explore how surveillance tools have evolved from Bentham's classic concept of the panopticon, which symbolized the power of the observer over the observed, to the complex monitoring structures that characterize our daily lives today. This text invites the reader to question the ethical and social implications of digital surveillance, as well as to recognize the impact it has on individual freedom and privacy. By addressing issues such as data collection, social control, and the normalization of surveillance, the book becomes an essential resource for those seeking to understand the intersection between technology and power. The goal is for the reader to gain a critical view of their relationship with the digital environment, and to be motivated to reflect on their role in building a more conscious and free society.
