And who is benefiting from this hyper-technological world, those struggling to overturn or to impose a world government of the powerful? Todd and Bloch's recurring themes are the anti-civil liberty implications of terrorist legislation, and the supreme failure of the UK and US intelligence forces amidst the 'new surveillance culture' of the modern world. This broader culture is formed from three compelling factors: what the authors call the 'Washington consensus' on economic organisation (whereby everything should be quantified and expressed in numerical measures of value), the deepening digital revolution and, finally, the process of globalisation. The book's subplot is clearly the language ...

Pulvertaft, secretary of the Defence Press and Broadcasting Committee (the 'D' Notice Committee), for a pre-publication view of material relating to the SAS. Harper Collins refused.

... agencies from conducting wiretaps.(2) Digital communications services generally convert telephone conversations and other transmissions into a digital code that is impossible to 'listen in' on.
