Detailed look at the ways that corporations and law enforcement can and have accessed biometric identifiers and what the consequences of using that information is.
Often feels dystopic, but an ultimately important unveiling of what kind of information about us is being harvested without our consent and how that information can be dangerous for everyone.

Straightforward and clear coverage of how we’ve gotten to the place we are with face recognition technology, with a special focus on Clearview AI. The author makes some compelling arguments for why we need some legislative and judicial work in this area.

This book is a living dystopian nightmare. Well written, informative, and clearly communicates the stakes of the issue while allowing the reader to come to their own conclusions. The sections of the book that give the history of development of face recognition technology add to the profile of Clearview.ai without feeling like a diversion. Books like this can feel like long form article stretched to a novel but this book has no fluff.
