China has built the most sophisticated system of total population control in the history of mankind. Xinjiang, a region in the northwest of the country where Turkic-speaking Uighurs live, has become the testing ground for this experiment. From ubiquitous surveillance cameras with facial recognition to Internet surveillance and algorithms that can supposedly predict future crimes, digital technology has given the state unprecedented opportunities to supervise and punish. Say or do something the authorities don't like and you could go to a camp or disappear without a trace. American journalist Jeffrey Kane traveled to Xinjiang and spoke to dozens of Uighur refugees - researchers, activists, and ordinary people who managed to escape the police state. This book is a unique account of life inside a dystopia and a powerful warning of how authoritarian regimes allied with technology corporations threaten our freedom.
