About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, The Data Surveillance State comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this politics & society work represents persistence through industry rejection. Political writing from an author who has seen firsthand how institutions and platforms can crush independent creators — the perspective is personal.
