Overview
In Watchlist, some of todayās most prominent and promising fiction writers from around the globe respond to, meditate on, and mine for inspiration the surveillance culture in which we live. With contributions from Etgar Keret, T.C. Boyle, Robert Coover, Aimee Bender, Jim Shepard, Alissa Nutting, Charles Yu, Cory Doctorow, and many more, WATCHLIST unforgettably confronts the question: What does it mean to be watched?
In Doctorowās eerily plausible ""Scroogled,"" the US has outsourced border control to Google, on the basis that they Do Search Right. In Lincoln Michelās āOur New Neighborhood,ā a planned suburban communityās Neighborhood Watchā program becomes an obsessive nightmare. Jim Shepardās haunting āSafety Tips for Living Aloneā imagines the lives of the men involved in the US governmentās fatal attempt to build the three Texas Tower radar facilities in the Atlantic Ocean during the Cold War. Randa Jarrarās āTestimony of Malik, Israeli agent #287690ā is āa sweet and deftly handled story of xenophobia and paranoia, reminding us that such things arenāt limited to the Westā (Sabotage Reviews) and Alissa Nuttingās āThe Transparency Projectā is a creative, speculative exploration of the future of longāterm medical observation.
By turns political, apolitical, cautionary, and surreal, these stories reflect on what itās like to live in the surveillance state.
