Description:
New ID card systems are proliferating around the world. These may use digitized fingerprints or photos using a scanner & may rely on computerized registries of personal information. In this book, David Lyon argues that such IDs represent a fresh phase in the long-term attempts of modern states to find stable ways of identifying citizens.
