The Seventies Now - Culture as Surveillance

"Miller's commentary on the role of spies, lies, and audiotape in the Watergate era brilliantly resonates with the analysis of various references, at all levels of the culture, to new technologies of surveillance and new modes of recording history."--John Brenkman, author of "Culture and Domination"

Summary

Most would agree that American culture in the 1980s differed dramatically from that of the 1960s. Yet the 1970s is still thought of as a cultural wasteland. This text debunks this notion by examining a wide range of political and cultural phenomena.
