We are being watched. That this statement no longer shocks is itself shocking. Post-Snowden, we know that the government - everywhere - has been reading our emails, listening to our phone calls, and watching whatever we do on the Internet. The only thing concealed is the nature of our watchers. In Watchlist, some of today's most prominent and promising fiction writers from around the globe respond to, reflect on, and mine for inspiration the surveillance culture in which we live. From drone strikes to birds mistaken for spies, paintings that change when they're not looked at to machines that let their dying users look back and reconsider the most important decisions of their lives, these stories take a broad and imaginative look at the state of surveillance in our global and interconnected world. How does constant surveillance affect us? Does it change how we behave as we seek approval or avoid judgment from an often faceless audience? Do we know who's watching? What does it mean to be watched? By turns political, apolitical, cautionary, and surreal, these stories reflect on what it's like to live in the surveillance state. Edited by Bryan Hurt.

A lot of good stories
Most of the stories held my interest. I'm glad I found this anthology. Why does Amazon require 20 words or more of reviewers?
Got a bad copy but it's such a good read!!!
It is such a good read! Totally captivating...I am just sad cause I ordered a new copy and my cover came all bent out of shape. I usually wouldn't be worried about it but I was giving it as a gift :(
Five Stars
Really enjoyed this collection of short stories!

Watchlist: 32 Stories by Persons of Interest is a collection of short stories based on the theme of surveillance. Bryan Hurt compiled the stories, and he put together quite the collection. When putting it together he didnât give much guidance to the contributors. He wanted to see the range of what he would get. He got a lot of good stuff, and in doing so he put together a collection of stories that will help you understand the hyperobject of the surveillance state like nothing else will.
In other words, there are some intellectual endeavors that can only be accomplished by reading very good fiction. Once youâve decided you want to embark on one of these endeavors where only fiction will do the trick, the next step is to decide which medium will deliver the most bang for the buck. More often than not readers and writers of fiction settle on novels as the best medium.
