Recenzje

'Drawing on substantial and exclusive access to the Australian Intelligence Community, this book provides a timely, detailed, and thorough analysis of the many ways in which big data is transforming intelligence and broader society. Dr Miah Hammond-Errey brings intelligence studies into the digital era with this original contribution to the scholarly field on intelligence and national security.'

Kira Vrist Rønn, Associate Professor, University of Southern Denmark

'With this book, Dr Hammond-Errey has produced a path-breaking empirical analysis of how Big Data is transforming intelligence and the challenges to which this transformation gives rise. Based on interviews with around 50 people working in and around the Australian National Intelligence Community, this book offers an invaluable guide to understanding the impact of the Big Data landscape on intelligence practice in liberal democracies and how this affects the intelligence-state-citizen relationship. It is essential reading for students of intelligence and for all those working in the field of intelligence, including its oversight.'

Mark Phythian, University of Leicester, UK

'This book is a timely account of the way big data and emerging technology have been disrupting intelligence and society. Dr Hammond-Errey develops an innovative framework of the landscape of big data that raises important questions about legitimacy and public trust in democratic institutions, the changing role of intelligence analysts, and the tendency to subject surveillance capabilities to greater democratic accountability.'

Christian Leuprecht, Royal Military College of Canada and Queen’s University, Canada
