As we delve into the depths of this surveillance state, our aim is to unravel the origins, motivations, and consequences of the omnipresent gaze that capitalism has cast upon us. In this introduction, we set the stage for a thought-provoking odyssey through the realms of technology, power, and the delicate balance between security and privacy.

We begin by peeling back the layers of the surveillance state, examining its historical roots and the ideological foundations that have allowed it to thrive. From Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon to the digital panopticism of the 21st century, we trace the evolution of surveillance mechanisms and their integration into the very core of our societal structures.

Capitalism, as an economic system, has not only embraced but also symbiotically intertwined itself with surveillance. In this chapter, we explore the complex relationship between capitalism and the surveillance economy. How did the pursuit of profit become inseparable from the collection and exploitation of personal data? What are the implications for individuals and society at large?

Join us as we embark on a captivating journey through the intersection of economic interests and the ever-watchful eyes of the surveillance apparatus.

As we turn the pages of "Surveillance State of Capitalism," prepare to confront the uncomfortable truths and challenging questions that arise when capitalism and surveillance converge. The narrative unfolds, inviting you to critically examine the landscape of detection and control that defines our modern reality.
