Reviews
"Pallitto's discussions are thought provoking but not overly technical, and they lead to a deeper critique of current assumptions regarding informed rational actors and consumerism, as well as economic cost-benefit analysis as applied to public policies and individual autonomy."-- Choice, " Bargaining with the Machine explores the contractual relationship between the user of a technology or service and the provider of it. A user of a technology or service is confronted with an 'irresistible bargain': in order to take advantage of the service the user must surrender some privacy by agreeing to surveillance measures. The user cannot alter the terms and has therefore only the option of rejecting the offer altogether, which comes at the cost of convenience. Robert M. Pallitto makes a convincing case that most people will enter the bargain without even considering the consequences or implications and that often the individual benefits are far less than the risks that can result from subjecting oneself to surveillance measures. The book contains excellent analysis and many fascinating insights that make it an important contribution to the study of surveillance."-- Dr. Armin Krishnan , associate professor and director of security studies at East Carolina University "With philosophical insight and social science circumspection, Robert M. Pallitto lifts the veil of plausibility from the injurious bargains we make with contemporary American culture."-- Albert Borgmann , author of Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our Country, "The book asks valuable questions and gives practical advice, letting individuals understand their situations and responsibilities better."-- H-Net Reviews "Pallitto's discussions are thought provoking but not overly technical, and they lead to a deeper critique of current assumptions regarding informed rational actors and consumerism, as well as economic cost-benefit analysis as applied to public policies and individual autonomy."-- Choice
