The Annenberg School has uploaded a really good interesting history of Oscar Gandy's life and work. Oscar is simply one of my favourite people. It's very much focused on #communication rather than #surveillance, but there's a lot here for surveillance scholars too. www.asc.upenn.edu/research/cen...
