The Control Revolution (book)

"The Control Revolution" by James C. Scott explores how governments and organizations have increasingly used technology and information to monitor, regulate, and influence societies. It examines the shift from traditional forms of control to modern systems like surveillance, data collection, and digital governance, raising questions about power, privacy, and freedom. The book considers historical developments and the implications of these changes, highlighting how the ability to control populations through information shapes contemporary political and social dynamics while also challenging notions of individual autonomy and resistance.
