Testo aggiuntivo

`This book is important reading for anyone who is interested in online surveillance, privacy, the digitalized bureaucracy and social control since her conceptualization of digitization and surveillance can be applied to general application of social surveillance and securitization.’ —  Deborah Komarnisky, Ph.D. Student, Department of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; AmeriQuests 15.1 (2020)
