In We Have Been Harmonized, award-winning correspondent Kai Strittmatter examines the rise of China’s extensive surveillance state, supported by cutting-edge technology like facial recognition and real-time monitoring systems. This eye-opening work reveals how the Chinese government employs digital tactics to control its citizens, from tracking behaviors through apps to enforcing a Social Credit System that imposes penalties for missteps. Strittmatter highlights the alarming implications of this authoritarian model not only for Chinese citizens but also as a potential influence on global surveillance practices. A recognized Notable Work of Nonfiction of 2020, this audiobook serves as a chilling reminder of the balance between security and freedom.
