In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA and its partners had been engaging in warrantless mass surveillance, using the internet and cellphone data, and driven by fear of terrorism under the sign of ’security’.
In this compelling account, surveillance expert David Lyon guides the reader through Snowden’s ongoing disclosures: the technological shifts involved, the steady rise of invisible monitoring of innocent citizens, the collusion of government agencies and for-profit companies and the implications for how we conceive of privacy in a democratic society infused by the lure of big data. Lyon discusses the distinct global reactions to Snowden and shows why some basic issues must be faced: how we frame surveillance, and the place of the human in a digital world.
Surveillance after Snowden is crucial reading for anyone interested in politics, technology and society.

Review
"Surveillance after Snowden is a brilliant plea for human beings to secure personal agency and civic rights in a world of metadata and surveillance. This won’t be easy, but it is among the most important challenges for the future of democracy."
Craig Calhoun, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science
"David Lyon’s new book on surveillance post Snowden builds on his indispensable body of work to understand the dangers of mass surveillance."
Laura Poitras, Filmmaker and Journalist
"Edward Snowden showed us how far the infrastructures of surveillance have extended. In turn, David Lyon gives us the deep scholarly context to understand what the documents really mean, and most importantly, how we can best respond. It's a much needed combination, and it makes this book essential reading."
Kate Crawford, Visiting Professor at MIT and Principal Researcher at MSR

An overview of the Snowden leaks to Americans
By Connie (She who hikes with dogs)
David Lyon directs the Surveillance Studies Center at Queen's University in Canada. He wrote this to provide a simple analysis of what the revellations brought forward by NSA contractor Edward Snowden mean to the average American. Snowden, who is now in exile in Russia, faces serious prison time if he's ever returned to this country, but his leaking highly classified information on how the National Security Agency collects information on us WITH the cooperation of several big US corporations like Microsoft and Verizon is very eye opening.
Lyon writes five overlaping chapters on global mass surveillance and big megadata collection, with some historical background to place this all in focus. Lyon is correct when he writes that surveillance has been practiced since the beginning of political adversaries. With the advances in digital technologies and the world wide web, however, surveillance is much more indepth and more invasive. Using digital technology for commercial and private use, like Facebook or Twitter for example, exposes us to easy breaches of privacy and allows us to be tracked by location, activity, even the kinds of items we purchase. This surveillance applies to everyone, and not just the bad guys that law enforcement agencies are targeting.
Just because Snowded leaked much of the information Lyon presents in this book, doesn't mean it's right to go into great detail into the revellations, and Lyon does avoid detailed procedures. He provides just enough to make the reader realize that no one is immune from mass surveillance. We simply live in a digitalized, social-media oritented world. Lyon does place some emphasis on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the addition of Section 215, which allows the government to force third parties to hand over data involving business records, phone records, receipts, etc of Americans which then can be shared with foreign governments. All this under the auspices that the US and its allies are tracking terrorists, yet these kinds of procedures have had very little success in preventing new terrorist attacks. Lyon also mentions that this tactic is very similar to big business marketing, such as Amazon's personalized recommendations for its customers, but which in other contents can be embarrassing when done for more damaging reasons.
Lyon is clearly against the invasive and far-reaching surveillance that our government is doing on all of us, and his bias is in favor of the common person who does his share in helping big government and corporations track him simply by using a smart phone or logging on to the internet. Mistakes do happen and innocent people have been brought in for interrogation (although he gives no examples). If there is anything important to get out of this short book then, is Lyon's final analysis of the potential danger this surveillance and data collection could bring if it falls into an adversarial government or terrorist group. Lacking detail, this is still a good read.

Vague.
By mirasreviews
“Surveillance After Snowden” was written by David Levy, director of the Surveillance Studies Centre at Queen’s University, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, ostensibly to place the 2013 NSA revelations by leaker Edward Snowden in some kind of context. Levy defines surveillance simply as “collecting information in order to manage and control,” to which he attributes three dimension relevant to the discussion of mass surveillance of citizens: government surveillance of its citizens, private corporations that share big data with the government, and the complicity of citizens in feeding these entities a lot of personal data. Levy elucidates different aspects of the “surveillance” issue in each of five chapters, though there is a lot of overlap.
Levy begins with a short history of modern surveillance and how the NSA obtained the data alluded to in the 58,000 documents leaked Edward Snowden, through intercepts of data-in-transit, access to stored data, and installation of spyware. This is followed by another brief foray into history, this time of communications in the Cold War, Space Age, and into the Digital Age and its consequences for surveillance. There is a chapter about metadata, through which “the micro-details of all our lives” are revealed, leading to a discussion of big data, obtained through directed, automated, and volunteered means, theoretically in order to anticipate actions. One chapter discusses what is meant by privacy and why it is essential to democracy and free speech.
The topics are potentially interesting and probably important, but Levy never goes anywhere with them or makes a convincing case for their significance. For some reason, be it poor judgment, slapdash writing, or ignorance of the topics, Levy persistently specks in vague terms, leaving the reader to wonder what he is talking about or getting at. He’s vague in how the NSA or private entities gather information. He writes a chapter on metadata without ever saying what constitutes metadata but rather makes scattered and incomplete references to examples. Privacy is a concept that has been evolving since the late Middle Ages, but Levy never defines it for his purpose. He declares privacy essential to free speech and democracy but never explains how or why.
Finally, Levy proposes to propose alternatives to the current “surveillance society,” but he never does. He proposes to create a utopian idea and then interrogate it to find a feasible ideal. His utopia is democratic and full of human dignity –never defined- but he doesn’t go through with this exercise. He lists some practical steps for activists and concerned citizens to take in promoting privacy and combating surveillance, but nothing that isn’t obvious. I can only speculate that David Levy was asked to write a book –quickly- on the current state of surveillance and its implications in Western nations and churned this out. “Surveillance After Snowden” is not a primer, or an academic study, or much of a discussion of any aspect –technical, political, or historical- of surveillance.

A reasonable, level-headed look at the leaks, and the challenges they create for democracy and civil liberties
By Kristi Gilleland
If you've followed the Snowden saga and read a lot of the longer published articles, like the ones on The Intercept, a lot of this might be rehash for you. If not though, the first half of this book will quickly get you up to speed on the events around the leaks, as well as a good overview of their content and significance. Technical programs such as s X-KEYSCORE, Tempora, and PRISM are described in a way that that even non-technical audiences can understand them. Metadata is discussed in detail, and the dangers of how it can be used are clearly laid out.
I feel he did a good job of acknowledging that surveillance is used primarily by governments to keep us safe, but also how dangerous it is when huge swaths of the population are caught up in it- how it can be very threatening to the economy and dangerous to civil rights and liberties. I felt like he did a good job explaining the levels of automation involved; frequently when I speak to non-technical friends they seem to think it doesn't matter as "no one has time to constantly watch what I do!" They don't seem to grasp that everything being collected is done so automatically and stored, later accessed easily whenever anyone might enter the space under the proverbial microscope of the intelligence agencies, or even law enforcement.
Recommended for anyone interested in how surveillance is working today as well as anyone interested in civil iberties and privacy topics. This is a factual, reasonable look at mass surveillance and how we might come to terms with it and face the challenges it creates.
