Automation and Repression (MIT Working Paper)

What it is

MIT economics working paper analyzing how automation technologies can be used to expand state surveillance and repression, and the economic conditions that make that more likely.

Why I recommend it

Dense, but the argument matters: the same tools sold as efficiency are also control tools. Read the introduction and conclusion first.
