"Loving Big Brother looks at a wide range of performance and visual artists, at popular television shows and movies, and at our day-to-day encounters with surveillance. Rooting its arguments in an accessible reading of cultural theory, this iconoclastic book develops a notion of surveillance space - somewhere beyond the public and the private, somewhere we will all soon live. It's a place we're just beginning to understand."--BOOK JACKET.
