[Derrick Jensen, George Draffan] À Welcome to the Machine: Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control ✓ Download Online eBook or Kindle ePUB. Welcome to the Machine: Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control "The machine is here to stay" according to kswaterman. I'm not sure if I have ever read a book quite like this one, the author writing style is a little different to say the least. At first I was concerned that maybe a mad professor had escaped from an asylum, such is the writing style but soon realised that the author is a man who has a great deal of knowledge but an eve. Not Jensen's best, but still worth the read. Having read some of Jensen's material before, I had an idea of what to expect.

Their results are startling.If the prospect of perpetual surveillance and psychological warfare alarms you, you are not alone.

In their new book, Welcome to the Machine: Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control, Jensen and Draffan take a hart-hitting look at the way technology is used as a machine, to control us and our environment. Most people would be disturbed if you told them that everything from their store purchases to their public transit rides are recorded and filed for government or corporate access.

Basically, the machine exists to control and direct the actio. EXIT THE MACHINE Imagine a future in which the governmental and corporate sectors have total control over people; where they share full disclosure of all information about you - from what you had for breakfast seven years ago to the type of fantasies you play out in your head when no one is looking - and that they use this information
