| Abstract | "Invisible, invasive, and widely taken for granted, censorship is a globalized force as much driven by commercial interests as political agendas. Ai Weiwei, one of contemporary art's most influential figures has firsthand experience of its power. In this urgent piece of writing, he makes a rallying cry for free speech in an age shaped by big data, mass surveillance, and instrusive new technologies of control" -- Provided by publisher. |
