Our personal and public lives are increasingly on display for governments  merchants  employers  hackersand the merely curiousto see. In Windows into the Soul  Gary T. Marx  a central figure in the rapidly expanding field of surveillance studies  argues that surveillance itself is neither good nor bad  but that context and comportment make it so.  In this landmark book  Marx sums up a lifetime of work on issues of surveillance and social control by disentangling and parsing the empirical richness of watching and being watched. Using fictional narratives as well as the findings of social science  Marx draws on decades of studies of covert policing  computer profiling  location and work monitoring  drug testing  caller identification  and much more  Marx gives us a conceptual language to understand the new realities and his work clearly emphasizes the paradoxes  trade-offs  and confusion enveloping the field. Windows into the Soul shows how surveillance can penetrate our social and personal lives in profound  and sometimes harrowing  ways. Ultimately  Marx argues  recognizing complexity and asking the right questions is essential to bringing light and accountability to the darker  more iniquitous corners of our emerging surveillance society.
