Books by Torin Monahan

Explores the counterterrorism-themed show ""24"", Rapture fiction, traffic control centers, security conferences, public housing, and gated communities, and examines how each manifests complex relationships of inequality, insecurity, and surveillance.

Documents the changes that take place in public education through the incorporation of various information technologies.
