Surveillance State?
The
notion of the 'surveillance state' has been a major feature
of recent debate about privacy and the governance of cyberspace,
with claims for example that US citizens want protection

literature about the 'invisible government' and question
some myths about 'police states' (which in practice were
essentially self-policing).
