Marc Schuilenburg

Marc Schuilenburg is the author of four books, including 'Making Surveillance Public', 'Hysteria' and 'The Securitization of Society', which was awarded the triennial Willem Nagel Prize. In his latest book 'Making Surveillance Public: Why You Should Be More Woke About AI and Algorithms' (2024), he explores the deployment of AI applications, asking who is using them, what their aims are, what outcomes and societal impacts they lead to, and against whom they are used. To this end, he makes a case for a digital criminology centred on sociological questions of power, knowledge and AI-experiences. During his writing, he listens to John Coltrane, Radiohead, Actress, Scratch Lee Perry, Autechre, Pharoah Sanders, and Morrissey. He lives in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
