520    "Novel forms of state violence and colonization have been 
       unfolding for years in China's vast northwestern region, 
       where more than a million and a half Uyghurs and others 
       have vanished into internment camps and associated 
       factories. Based on hours of interviews with camp 
       survivors and workers, thousands of government documents, 
       and over a decade of research, Darren Byler, one of the 
       leading experts on Uyghur society and Chinese surveillance
       systems, uncovers how a vast network of technology 
       provided by private companies-facial surveillance, voice 
       recognition, smartphone data-enabled the state and 
       corporations to blacklist millions of Uyghurs because of 
       their religious and cultural practice starting in 2017. 
       Charged with "pre-crimes" that sometimes consist only of 
       installing social media apps, detainees were put in camps 
       to "study"-forced to praise the Chinese government, 
       renounce Islam, disavow families, and labor in factories. 
       Byler travels back to Xinjiang to reveal how the 
       convenience of smartphones have doomed the Uyghurs to 
       catastrophe, and makes the case that the technology is 
       being used all over the world, sold by tech companies from
       Beijing to Seattle producing new forms of unfreedom for 
       vulnerable people around the world"--|cProvided by
