“I’ve got a smile on my face, I’ve got four walls around me
I’ve got the sun in the sky, all the water surround me
Oh you know, I’ve been down and sometimes I’ll lose
I’ve been battered, but I’ll never bruise”

V for Vendetta “Remember, remember the fifth of November,” for on this day, in 2020, the minds of the masses shall be set free. So says code-name V, a man on a mission to shake society out of its blank complacent stares in the film V for Vendetta. His tactics, however, are a bit revolutionary, to say the least. |

Welcome to the Machine: Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control by Derrick Jensen and George Draffan If the prospect of perpetual surveillance and psychological warfare alarms you, you are not alone. Most people would be disturbed if you told them that everything from their store purchases to their public transit rides are recorded and filed for government or corporate access. But more often than not, the smooth, silent cleanliness of its operation allows the Machine of Western Civilization to go unnoticed. In Welcome to the Machine, Jensen and Draffan draw our attention back to its eerie, persistent white noise and take a cold, hard, human look at the cultural conditions that have led us to all but surrender to its hum. |
