Means of Control

In "Means of Control," journalist Byron Tau uncovers the extensive collaboration between the U.S. government, data brokers, tech companies, and advertisers, revealing how our everyday devices contribute to a vast surveillance network monitoring our lives. Through five years of investigation, Tau explores the alarming extent of this hidden system, which has transformed the digital landscape into a mechanism for intelligence gathering, often without the public's knowledge. With insights into the origins of this surveillance culture post-9/11, the audiobook presents a sobering examination of privacy's decline in the digital age and the profound implications of our modern reliance on technology.
