God Machine by William Jon Watkins
This was an excellent book.

A subversive group hides by shrinking itself using a 'microniser' away from the pollution and scrutiny of the State who drug the general population and 'rehabiliate' anyone who shows any sign of deviance. No one is safe from unintentional non-verbal clues giving themselves away and suveillance is constant. Unsettling and well written. I loved the concept of control by body language and its subtleties.
