Liquid Surveillance

Liquid Surveillance by David Lyon and Zygmunt Bauman discusses a wide variety of relevant topics. From the ethics of algorithms, to the self-modification of consumers, from the tyranny of reason in the 20th century to transformation of Foucault panopticon to a banopticon. They all share a key-concept; the distribution of power.

In this session we’ll do a group reading of some of the key paragraphs of the book and discuss their relevance in todays society in general and the implications for the hacker community in particular.
