description

In the contemporary liquid society of consumers, those aspects linked to security and surveillance is on the agenda of public opinion. Based on a polished style but not less deep, Bauman in his recent book, Liquid Surveillance explores not only the roots of fear as a political indoctrination mechanism, but also as a sign to unmark the selected people. Technology posed at the disposal of surveillance, more than a need, exhibits a sign to the rest of society.
