“The degree to which we are surveilled, the persistence with which we are surveilled, and the variety of ways in which we are surveilled has exploded in the last decade,” says Arthur Holland Michel. “We are being watched in some way or another, 24/7, wherever we are.”

Arthur Holland Michel is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs and the author of Eyes in the Sky: The Secret Rise of Gorgon Stare and How it Will Watch Us All (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019).
