Our contemporary age is confronted by a profound contradiction: on
the one hand, our lives as workers, consumers and citizens have
become ever more monitored by new technologies. On the other, big
business and finance become increasingly less regulated and
controllable. What does this technocratic ideology and
surveillance-heavy culture reveal about the deeper reality of
modern society? Monitored investigates the history and implications
of this modern accountability paradox. Peter Bloom reveals
pervasive monitoring practices which mask how at its heart, the
elite remains socially and ethically out of control. Challenging
their exploitive 'accounting power', Bloom demands that the systems
that administer our lives are oriented to social liberation and new
ways of being in the world.
