Spying, once the province of the KGB, CIA, and MI5, has become part of everyday life and a multi-billion dollar industry. Governments routinely trawl our emails and CCTV cameras follow us on every street, while state databases of our DNA become larger all the time. This book shows the extent to which Big Brother is watching us all.
