Summary:

COVID-19 has reshaped how social, economic, and political power is created and exerted through technology. Through international case studies, this book analyses how technologies of monitoring infections, information, and behaviour have been applied and justified during the emergency, what their side-effects have been, and what kinds of resistance they have met.
