   "Eyes in the Sky is the authoritative account of how the Pentagon secretly   
   developed a godlike surveillance system for monitoring America's enemies   
   overseas, and how it is now being used to watch us in our own backyards.    
      
   "Whereas a regular aerial camera can only capture a small patch of ground at   
   any given time, this system—and its most powerful iteration, Gorgon Stare—allow   
   operators to track thousands of moving targets at once, both forwards and   
   backwards in time, across whole city-sized areas. When fused with big-data   
   analysis techniques, this network can be used to watch everything   
   simultaneously, and perhaps even predict attacks before they happen.   
      
   "In battle, Gorgon Stare and other systems like it have saved countless lives,   
   but when this technology is deployed over American cities—as it already has   
   been, extensively and largely in secret—it has the potential to become the most   
   nightmarishly powerful visual surveillance system ever built. While it may well   
   solve serious crimes and even help ease the traffic along your morning commute,   
   it could also enable far more sinister and dangerous intrusions into our lives.   
   This is closed-circuit television on steroids. Facebook in the heavens.    
      
   "Drawing on extensive access within the Pentagon and in the companies and   
   government labs that developed these devices, Eyes in the Sky reveals how a   
   top-secret team of mad scientists brought Gorgon Stare into existence, how it   
   has come to pose an unprecedented threat to our privacy and freedom, and how we   
   might still capitalize on its great promise while avoiding its many perils.
