    WELCOME TO THE MACHINE: SCIENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND THE CULTURE OF CONTROL

    Book ID/图书代码: 11650017C00004

    English Summary/英文概要: You could call them the Monkeywrench Gang of the nanotech age. Derrick Jensen and George Draffan are taking down the data mining industry, one converted mind at a time. In the face of RFID chips, consumer tracking strategies, and illegal government wiretapping, Jensen and Draffan are determined to show consumers how to fight back against government and industry to regain their rights, their privacy, and their humanity. 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. Their results are startling.

    If the prospect of perpetual surveillance and psychological warfare alarms you, you are not alone. 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. But more often than not, the smooth, silent cleanliness of its operation allows the Machine of Western Civilization to go unnoticed. In Welcome to the Machine, Jensen and Draffan draw our attention back to its eerie, persistent white noise and take a cold, hard, human look at the cultural conditions that have led us to all but surrender to its hum.

    Jensen and Draffan, who teamed up in 2003 to expose industrial corruption and destruction in Strangely Like War: The Global Assault on Forests, are back to reveal both the terrifying extent of surveillance today and our chilling complacency at the loss of everything from consumer privacy to civil liberties. In this timely and important new collaboration, Jensen and Draffan take on all aspects of Control Culture: everything from the government’s policy of total information awareness to a disturbing new technology where soldiers can be given medication to prevent them from feeling fear. They write about pharmaceutical packaging that reports consumer information, which is then used to send targeted drug advertisements directly to your TV.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 你可以称它们为“纳米技术时代的活动扳手派”。德里克•延森和乔治•德拉芬正在对数据挖掘行业进行研究,这是一个转变性的想法。面对RFID芯片、消费者跟踪策略和政府非法窃听,延森和德拉芬决心向消费者展示如何反击政府和行业,以重新获得他们的权利、隐私和他们的人性。在他们的新书中,欢迎来到机器时代:科学、监视和控制文化,延森和德拉芬对技术的使用方式进行了研究,以控制我们和我们的环境。他们的结果是惊人的。

    如果长期监视和心理战的前景让你感到不安,你并不孤单。如果你告诉他们,从商店购买到乘坐公共交通工具的所有东西都被记录下来,并提交给政府或公司,大多数人都会感到不安。但更常见的是,它的流畅、无声的清洁,让西方文明的机器被忽视了。在欢迎机器时代这本书中,延森和德拉芬把我们的注意力吸引到它那可怕的、持久的白色噪音上,并对我们的文化环境进行了冷静、艰难的观察,这让我们不得不屈服于它的嗡嗡声。

    延森和德拉芬在2003年合作,揭露了工业腐败和破坏,这是一场奇怪的战争:全球对森林的袭击,现在又回到了今天的恐怖程度,以及我们对从消费者隐私到公民自由的一切损失的恐惧。在这一及时而重要的新合作中,延森和德拉芬对控制文化的各个方面进行了研究:从政府的全面信息意识政策到一种令人不安的新技术,士兵们可以得到药物治疗,以防止他们感到恐惧。他们写的是药品包装,报告消费者信息,然后被用来直接向你的电视发送针对性的药品广告。(WYL)
