The Parkour Code is a modern fictional novel for young adults. It is based upon an extreme form of gymnastics. Originating in Europe, the first parkour athletes copied the art-form from obstacle courses used in French military training. Modern day participants identify the sport as "urban free-flow" and "free-running." Parkour is about moving from one point to another, as smoothly, efficiently, and quickly as possible, developing mastery. It is a common practice for a practitioner to believe that any obstacle, physical or mental, can be surpassed.

This book examines the contradictions surrounding popular lifestyle sports such as parkour and freerunning and their exclusion from our hyper-regulated city centres. The author combines ethnographic data and complex theory to move beyond tropes of resistance and acknowledge and explain the paradox of parkour against a backdrop of late-capitalism.

You are being surveilled right now. This sweeping exposé reveals how the U.S. government allied with data brokers, tech companies, and advertisers to monitor us through the phones we carry and the devices in our home. “A revealing . . . startling . . . timely . . . fascinating, sometimes terrifying examination of the decline of privacy in the digital age.”—Kirkus Reviews “That evening, I was given a glimpse inside a hidden world. . . . An entirely new kind of surveillance program—one designed to track everyone.” For the past five years—ever since a chance encounter at a dinner party—journalist Byron Tau has been piecing together a secret story: how the whole of the internet and every digital device in the world became a mechanism of intelligence, surveillance, and monitoring. Of course, our modern world is awash in surveillance. Most of us are dimly aware of this: Ever get the sense that an ad is “following” you around the internet? But the true potential of our phones, computers, homes, credit cards, and even the tires underneath our cars to reveal our habits and behavior would astonish most citizens. All of this surveillance has produced an extraordinary amount of valuable data about every one of us. That data is for sale—and the biggest customer is the U.S. government. In the years after 9/11, the U.S. government, working with scores of anonymous companies, many scattered across bland Northern Virginia suburbs, built a foreign and domestic surveillance apparatus of breathtaking scope—one that can peer into the lives of nearly everyone on the planet. This cottage industry of data brokers and government bureaucrats has one directive—“get everything you can”—and the result is a surreal world in which defense contractors have marketing subsidiaries and marketing companies have defense contractor subsidiaries. And the public knows virtually nothing about it. Sobering and revelatory, Means of Control is the defining story of our dangerous grand bargain—ubiquitous cheap technology, but at what price?
