A depressing but very interesting book. Especially reading it now, one year after the beginning of the war and genocide in Gaza and in the West Bank. I didn't expect the book to cover other parts of the world much, but I learned a lot about how weapon sales and surveillance technology is connected worldwide. Many of the things the book mentions regarding the double standard of how Israeli weapon sales and surveillance tech is treated, and the very different judgment applies by western governments and media regarding other countries who are not seen as an ally of the West and who carry out similar undemocratic actions, has become even more obvious in the past year.
