A bit liberal and reformist in its approach to the topic. However, this book offers an excellent overview of current surveillance practices, as well as evidence for why those surveillance practices don't accomplish their stated objectives.

If the communities had all of these things, then there would be no reason to protest. There would be no reason to rebel.

If the Black Panthers at that time had these basic rights as well they would not have risen up.
