"I still like his pictures."-Kurt Vonnegut

Subversive and incendiary, this full-color poster book reworks classic war propaganda to comment on corporate corruption, domestic spying, election fraud, gay marriage, blind patriotism, the war on terror, and surveillance in America today. With laughs and jeers, Micah Wright's distinctive artwork and astute political commentary offers timely and clever insight into the state of post-9/11 America.

Surveillance Means Security!is the hilarious follow-up to Wright's previous book of reworked propaganda posters, You Back The Attack! We'll Bomb Who We Want!

This book is both hilarious and thoughtful. 50 full-color "modern propaganda" posters which come "from" the Bush Administration and attempt to sway Americans to support illegal wiretaps, torture, war, etc. Each poster is accompanied by a well-written essay summing up the salient points of the issue and devastating Bush's legal reasoning and excuses for his positions. Highly recommended.
