There are several reasons why Wolfgang Sofsky is peculiarly well qualified to
speak about the huge loss of privacy that we in the putatively liberal
democracies of the West have already allowed to happen. One is that he is a
sociologist, a student of society; another is that he lives in a country -
Germany - that in living memory has experienced two forms of
totalitarianism; and a third is that he cares about civil liberties in a way
that most of his contemporaries have either never done, or have forgotten.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/non-fiction/article4961761.ece"><P>
So he speaks out, with eloquence and anxiety, about the betrayal of liberties
for which generations fought and died, from the dawn of the Reformation to
the end of the Cold War. It is a betrayal all the worse for being
unintelligent, clumsy and half-blind rather than sinister, though once the
new instruments of repression are to hand in this over-technologised world
of ours, the sinister will have a field day.
