More about the book
The computer controlled them all. Bio-magnetic recognition was infallible, instant. Its eyes were everywhere -- in the street, in the home. There was no escape as it scanned, recorded, knew. An armed Computer Maintenance Corps handled social control. The military-style personnel thought the computer was God. But the computer stole. Energy. With every personal scan, even casual recognition check there went a small but significant subject-to-computer mental energy transfer. Only the Computer Rebel Society saw the threat and had the will to organise against it. The computer, of course, made them outlaws.
