For an in-depth look on surveillance in the States, I recommend @War[0]. It delves into the rise of the NSA and the role of digital surveillance in modern warfare, along with the NSA's relationship with large corporations to achieve these goals.

The book '@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex' by Shane Harris from The Daily Beast is very good and talks about the obsessions with offensive weapons. And the embarrassingly bad defensive posture the US has via policy failure (ie: focusing on private-public info sharing deals that do nothing, instead of real defence) and inter-agency fighting.

Highly recommend "@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex" [1] by Shane Harris which goes into fascinating detail on how the "US is gearing up for cyberwar"
