The summer 2020 issue of Index on Censorship looks at how our privacy is being chipped away as surveillance technology encroaches on our lives. How much information are we allowing to be collected and stored about our movements and personal health, and for how long? We also look at how leaders are grasping the opportunity of the pandemic to suppress the right to freedom of expression in countries like China, Hungary and Turkey. Geoff White reports on the increasing use of drones, and worries about being watched from the skies.

Authors include: Tom Hodgkinson, Timandra Harkness, John Lloyd, plus plays for the pandemic from V (formerly Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues), Lucien Bourjeily and Katherine Parkinson.
