The Surveillance State: Big Data, Freedom, and You, Prof Paul Rosenzweig (24 Lectures / 30 Minutes Per Lecture / 4x DVD - The Great Courses)
The course investigates how modern tools—ranging from metadata harvesting and drones to biometric identification—allow both governments and corporations to track individuals with unprecedented precision. By examining the evolution of surveillance from the Cold War to the post-9/11 era, the series explores how current legal frameworks like the Fourth Amendment struggle to keep pace with rapid technological shifts.Beyond legal theory, the material delves into the practical reality of the "Big Data shadow" cast by our daily digital interactions and travel patterns. It provides a foundational look at the ethical dilemmas of the 21st century, questioning whether true individual liberty can coexist with the pervasive monitoring systems required for modern security and commerce.
