Britain now has more CCTV cameras than any other
country, a national identity card in the pipeline
and myriad other measures of regulation and
surveillance.

The official Information Commissioner claims that we
are _sleepwalking into a surveillance society_, while
the authorities insist that their aim is to protect
the public and that those who have nothing to hide
should have nothing to worry about. What implications
does living in a _surveillance society_ have for our
public and private lives?
