Within the larger spectrum of contemporary fiction about surveillance and control, a distinctive strand of fiction explores the problem of digital surveillance. In addition to the question of how the state observes citizens under the new socio-technical conditions, a new concern is raised by this type of fiction: the commercial collection and exploitation of personal data by the data-driven digital economy, especially by the leading online companies Google and Facebook. The novels that are discussed in this study explore transnational forms of data collection as surveillance (dataveillance) and highlight social and political risks caused by them. The selected texts constitute key works of this digital surveillance fiction. In their hybrid form, a mix between science fiction and realistic writing, these novels draw an uncomfortably dark picture of the position and agency of the contemporary subject. Especially their narrativization of commercial forms of data collection and exploitation as surveillance challenges readers assumptions and asks for a reassessment of these practices. This study focuses on the narrative strategies chosen by authors to make accessible the largely imperceptible practices of dataveillance that are embedded in digital technologies of everyday life.
