While computer scientists are developing FRT in order to design more intelligent and interactive machines, businesses and states agencies view the technology as uniquely suited for ?smart? surveillance?systems that automate the labor of monitoring in order to increase their efficacy and spread their reach. Tracking this technological pursuit, Our Biometric Future identifies FRT as a prime example of the failed technocratic approach to governance, where new technologies are pursued as shortsighted solutions to complex social problems. Culling news stories, press releases, policy statements, PR kits and other materials, Kelly Gates provides evidence that, instead of providing more security for more people, the pursuit of FRT is being driven by the priorities of corporations, law enforcement and state security agencies, all convinced of the technology?s necessity and unhindered by its complicated and potentially destructive social consequences. By focusing on the politics of developing and deploying these technologies, Our Biometric Future argues not for the inevitability of a particular technological future, but for its profound contingency and contestability. 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aBiometric identification 606 $aFace$vIdentification 615 0$aBiometric identification. 615 0$aFace 676 $a363.232 700 $aGates$b Kelly A.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01056476 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480651803321 996 $aOur Biometric Future$92490868 997 $aUNINA
