Summary: 'The Panoptic Sort' was an important contribution to contemporary understanding of the collection, processing, and use of personal information within the corporate sector. It represented a critical shift within the developing area of surveillance and privacy studies. This edition features an updated foreword focusing on developments within this field since its initial publication in 1993. The afterword explores the possibilities for the mobilization of an engaged public willing and able to call for the establishment of limitations on the use of algorithmically processed data in ways that threaten the democratic process.
