The story is designed as a report of a couple searching for a safe place to live, work, and raise their family. They settle on Camden, New Jersey, a formerly notoriously dangerous city that has partnered with corporations, such as Shotspotter, to install comprehensive surveillance. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens. The author teaches urban planning and community development at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, who has also published a critique of the actual program in “Secure the City, Revitalize the Zone: Smart Urbanization in Camden, New Jersey.” Environment and Planning C: Politics and Space 36.3 (2018): 403-23.
