Including work by literary heavyhitters... the anthology considers the act and weight of watching and being watched... and in Watchlist, these seetoknow quests range from funny to terrifying. Los Angeles Magazine
In Watchlist, some of today's most prominent and promising fiction writers from around the globe respond to, meditate on, and mine for inspiration the surveillance culture in which we live. With contributions from Etgar Keret, T.C. Boyle, Robert Coover, Aimee Bender, Jim Shepard, Alissa Nutting, Charles Yu, Cory Doctorow, and many more, WATCHLIST unforgettably confronts the question: What does it mean to be watched?
In Doctorow's eerily plausible ""Scroogled,"" the US has outsourced border control to Google, on the basis that they Do Search Right. In Lincoln Michel's Our New Neighborhood, a planned suburban community's 'Neighborhood Watch' program becomes an obsessive nightmare. Jim Shepard's haunting Safety Tips for Living Alone imagines the lives of the men involved in the US government's fatal attempt to build the three Texas Tower radar facilities in the Atlantic Ocean during the Cold War. Randa Jarrar's Testimony of Malik, Israeli agent #287690 is a sweet and deftly handled story of xenophobia and paranoia, reminding us that such things aren't limited to the West (Sabotage Reviews) and Alissa Nutting's The Transparency Project is a creative, speculative exploration of the future of longterm medical observation.
By turns political, apolitical, cautionary, and surreal, these stories reflect on what it's like to live in the surveillance state.
