Offering a level of detail hitherto restricted to military intelligence, "The Millennium Map" is a fascinating survey of both public and private worlds - not only is the car parked outside your front door fully visible, you can see bustling crowds of shoppers on Oxford Street and people taking it easy in their back gardens. It is so revealing, so pin-sharp, that it has excited the attentions of both defence experts and civil rights activists alike, with claims that it compromises both national security and personal privacy.
