Join Atlas Soceity CEO Jennifer Grossman for the 244th episode of The Atlas Society Asks where she sits down with investigative journalist Geoffrey Cain to talk about his book "The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China’s Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future," which reveals the extraordinary intrusiveness and power of the tech surveillance giants and the chilling implications for all our futures.

A former correspondent at The Economist and regular commentator in The Wall Street Journal, Time, Foreign Policy, and a frequent guest on CNN, MSNBC, and Bloomberg, Cain writes about the ways that technology is upending our lives, communities, governments and businesses. His work takes him to the world’s most authoritarian and far-off places, from inside North Korea to the trans-Siberian railway across Russia, from investigations into genocide in Cambodia to experiments in technological surveillance in China.
